(I Find I Can't Get Stoned Enough To) Make You Kind

Well I try so very hard my dear
To give you what you need
I work all day I work all night
To provide selflessly
But when that moment comes near
When I need some peace of mind
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind

I'm all day digging ditches
To try to avoid your spite
But no matter how heavy the work
You dismiss it like it's so light
My back is bent my knees they ache
From this uphill and thankless grind
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind

There must be a way to satisfy
This yearning you've expressed
Some way to soothe your anger
At not getting what you think you should get
Well I've tried to move us forward
But you only want to rewind
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind

In the school of life I've studied so hard
To pass your loving test
I long for the day when school is finally out
And I get my needed rest
Every time I turn in my work
You got another gripe to assign
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind

There's lots of silly reasons
Why I need this quiet space
I just want some time for my thoughts by myself
A pit stop from this rat race
You don't bring home no paper
And I just need me a dime
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind

Yeah try as I may try as I might
To be your perfect man
There are some things from time to time my dear
That I need you to understand
I've always loved my sweet Mary Jane
I ain't never gonna leave her behind
I find I can't get stoned enough
I find I can't get high enough
I find I can't get stoned enough
To make you kind
