This Is Not A Test
by Berkeley Social Scene

Took a trip up to the bay
Just needed to get out of LA
Hitched my way to Haight Ashbury
Found myself in a dispensary

Now I'm baked out of my gourd
On my knees and praying to the lord
I can't undo what I've done
Feeling a high I can't outrun

Filled my pipe and took a hit
Smoke rising, and ashes glowing
Straight to my head but I’ll be OK
No one cares about me anyway

Now I'm baked out of my gourd
On my knees and praying to the lord
I can't undo what I've done
Feeling a high I can't outrun

This is not a test
This is an acid test
This is not a test
This is an acid test

Now I’m free as I can be
The dealers all know me by name
Found a room in an old Victorian
Sleep on the floor but I’m still kickin’

Now I'm baked out of my gourd
On my knees and praying to the lord
I can't undo what I've done
Feeling a high I can't outrun

I liked this song lyrically, but I'm unsure as to whether it's an "origin story". It's a good song, and I enjoy your singing as well, but the bass guitar (?) during the choruses gets on my nerves after a short while. What exactly are you doing there? Sounds like slapping, but weird, somehow. Also, I am not sure if trying to make a song fit two titles is a good idea. This one feels like a "Baked Out of My Gourd" song rather than a "This Is Not a Test" one. Still, solid composition, good singing and playing, nice lyrics, not bad.
