You guys know anything about drugs?

"Yeah, we're on 'em"

You wanna know about drugs?

Well first of all, I don't know shit about drugs but I just feel like singing about 'em

It was longs ago

Seems like a dream

The day I sucked the air

From a bottle of whipped cream

And I got real high

And things got real slow

"and I started talking like this"

Whats going on?

I don't know

and then I sold my car

For a greatfull dead ticket

Nd my dad yelled at me

nd he grounded me

Nd he said I was a dick It was the worst day of my life

And i'll never forget it

But the very next day

I was doing bong hits in the back of my friends chevvete

So don't tell me we're winning the war on drugs

Cause drugs are like a big old can of Raid and you're all little bugs

And don't tell me to not get high

Cause im as low as i can get without kissing your ass and blowing you at the same time

Man don't tell me about love and peace

When one of the Jones' has a hand gun pointing at me

Dont tell me to "Just say no"

Im an addict, I say no to let me go

Whatever happened to Sex Drugs and rock and roll?

Now we just have AIDS, crack and techno

So they busted me!

I said I say, fuck them up for selling dope

And i went to jail and I wasn't forgiven

Like that little fucker who shot the pope and said "I have the right to remain silent"

But they couldn't explain

How i didn't exist nd I wasnt violent

Cause all ive ever wanted is the right to remain

and then they questioned me, yeah they asked me

WHY?

And I said "I don't think I should be shot for selling pot, this is my little way of saying...

High! And now my record 'sall fucked up"

Nd im not 'llowed to vote

'N two times a week they make me piss in a cup, but what i wanna do is piss down their throats

"ok heres the sensitive part"

Nd they told me the time to change

Cause our parents have Hendrix Janice and Jim, but what about River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain?

And they told me

To praise the Lord

But i've been waiting so long for him to call me back

I think im gonna go and prey at Betty Four

And they told me that life is fair

"BULLSHIT!"

But I cant smoke a plant that was made by God, but I can kill my wife if i'm a football player

'N they told me, Yeah they told me to just ignore

But i'd rather smoke crack outta Nancy Reagen's skull, while getting a blowjob from Tiffard Gold
