War on Drugs

It was long 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

What's going on

I don't know

And then I sold my car

For a Grateful Dead ticket

And my dad yelled at me

And he grounded me

And he said I was a dick

It was the worst day of my life

And I'll never forget

But the very next day I was doing bong hits

In the back of my friend's chevette

So don't tell me

We're winning the war on drugs

'cuz drugs are like a big ol' can of raid

And you're all little bugs

And don't tell me

To not get high

'cuz I'm 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 Joneses

Has a handgun pointed at me

Don't tell me to "Just Say No"

I'm an addict

I say no to letting it go

What ever happened to Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll?

Now we've just got AIDS, crack, and techno

So they busted me for selling dope

And I went to jail

And I wasn't forgiven

Like that little fucker who shot the pope

And they said I had the right to remain silent

But they couldn't explain

How I didn't resist

And I wasn't violent

Because all I've ever wanted

Is the right to remain

And they questioned me

And they asked me... Why?

I don't think I should be shot

For selling pot

Its just my little way of saying "Hi"

And now my record's all fucked up

And I'm not allowed to vote

And two times a week they make me piss in a cup

When what I want to do is piss down their throats

Man, don't tell me about love and peace

When one of the Joneses

Has a handgun pointed at me

Don't tell me to "Just Say No"

I'm an addict

I say no to letting it go

What ever happened to Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll?

Now we've just got AIDS, crack, and techno

And they told me that times have changed

'Cuz our parents had Hendrix, Janis, and Jim

But what about River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain?

And they told me to praise the lord

But I've been waiting for so long

For him to call me back

I think I'm gonna go pray at Betty Ford

And they told me that life is fair

But I can't smoke a plant that was made by God

But I can kill my wife if I'm a football player

But I'd rather smoke crack out of Nancy Ragen's skull

While getting a blow job from Tiffer Goarn

Man, don't tell me about love and peace

When one of the Joneses

Has a handgun pointed at me

Don't tell me to "Just Say No"

I'm an addict

I say no to letting it go

What ever happened to Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll?

Now we've just got AIDS, crack, and techno
