College Girl

I'm not a leader

I'm not a left-wing,rehtoric,

mobilizing force of one

But but there was a time way back

many years ago in college

Don't laugh

but I thought I was a radical

I ran a hemp liberation league with my boyfriend

It was true love with a common cause

and besides that he was a sagittarius

We used to say that our love was like hemp rope

three times as strong as the rope that you buy domesticly

we would bond in the face of oppression from big business

and the Deans

But I knew there was a problem

every time the group would meet

everyone would light up

It made it difficult to discuss glaucoma and human rights,

not to mention chemotherapy

Well, sometimes life gives us lessons

sent in ridiculous packaging

So I found him in the arms of a "student

against the treacherous use of fur"

And he gave no apology

He just turned to me stoned out to the edge of oblivion

He didn't pull up the sheets and I think he even smiled

as the said to me: (spoken)

-Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke.....Huhuh

-and I said:

-No, our dreams went up in dreams....you stupid pot-head

And another thing

What kind of a name is "students

against the treacherous use of fur"

Fur is already dead and besides

a name like that doesn't make a good acronym

I am older now

I know the rise and gradual fall of a daily victory

And I still write to my Senators saying they should

legalize cannabis and I should know

'Cause I am a horticulturist

I have a husband and two children out in Lexington, Mass.

And my ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold out

Because he's in a cult

and he's not allowed to talk to me
