Can we talk about automatic satisfaction 
Sittin' back relaxin' floored 
What's wrong with kickin' it 
When you're bored and lit 
Lets smoke some cigarettes 
And catch up on the back porch 
Fire up another roach 

We don't need a rest this is just a test 
'cause we're alright, we're up all night 
To see the sun come up again now 
Just one more time no reason why 
To see the sun come up again. 

The more we try to change 
The more we stay the same 
We're caught up in the game and now 
Just like empty picture frames 
So now were to blame 

Said we were gettin' down, on henessey and fountain 
Smelled another mountain now 
If you ain't gettin' down, you'll come around 
And were alright, we're up all night 
To see the sun come up again now 
Just one more time, no reason why 
To see the sun come up again. 

So lets smoke some cigarettes 
And catch up on the back porch 
Fire up another roach 

We don't need a rest, it's just a test 
And as the world spins we'll watch it with a grin 
And look in as the day begins 
Well now it's on again, it's dawn again. 
Yeah! Yeah! 
And we're alright 
We're up all night 

To see the sun come up again now 
Just one more time, no reason why 
To see the sun come up again 
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright 
Yeah we're alright, up all night 
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright 
To see the sun come up again now!
