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!

    THis one of the few highlights of the Elva Album. THe album as a whole, is very disapointing to see the least.
