Not So Cheap Thrills

You’ve got in your head

That you can’t get out of bed

Without lightin’ a match to your future.

And as the smoke is goin’ down

And your mind is spinnin’ round

‘Bout the worries of the day that confuse ya.

You cough awhile, and you seat awhile,

And you worry what ya gonna do?

Now don’t tell me it’s not hurtin’ you,

I used to lie there too.

So, you’re lookin’ for a thrill

In that green and purple pill

And the woman who belongs to your brother,

And if the thrill goes away

No matter what ya gotta pay

Your’re gonna get it back one way or the other.

Cheap thrills won’t last my friend

Come on and listen to the news.

And when the Lord comes in the end

You know you’re gonna pay your dues.

Take off those rosy glasses my friend

See it like it is.

The only things that last in this life,

Are those of His.

So, if you’re flyin’ round the world

With your carnal wings unfurled

You’re headed in the wrong direction.

God’s got a better way

There’s no price you have to pay

Cause Jesus is our Holy connection.

The feelings I get with Jesus

The world could never supply.

What do I want with cheap thrills,

When the Lord can me high?
