[Verse 1]
People walking round
Livin' in a daze
High above the ground
With their snooty ways
Puttin' people down
Actin' phony while they fly high
[Verse 2]
With the fancy clothes
And their corny jokes
Lookin' down their nose
At the common folk
They can never see
Life the way it oughta be
[Bridge]
Old ways
Seem to have passed us by
These days
Life is in high, high fly
[Verse 3]
Everybody's hip
Every kind of sound
Comes from every lip
Everybody's down
'Bout to really flip
Actin' phony while they fly high

[Outro]
While they fly high
Fly high
Fly high
Fly, fly
Fly high
Fly high
Fly
