Drink and Drugs
You could say it's funny, I think because of tax money?
It's legal to get wasted on Hops and Barley
But illegal for a quick sniff of Charlie,
or even a toke of Bob Marley
You can get mashed on fermented potatoes
but, you get sniffed at for stuff up your nose
if you pay the tax, it's ok, sit in the warm, relax
we've got every poison from Wine to Brandy
but you go to prison, if you wanna lil' dab of Mandy
Come in, make yourself at home maybe even have a meal
or endless texts from a mobile phone, facilitating some 'dodgy' deal
In most shops across this land, can pick up a cheap can o'piss
but a slap near the hand, for high grade Cannabis!
It's different drugs, but whats the harm?
Not like im putting shite in my arm!
I just wanna groove to my own tune
you make out i'm a dangerous, deranged loon.
A vintage year? we'll charge you more
we're on the 'right' side of the law
Is that a Reefer? There's the door!
This stoneage view, what a bore!
If everyone smoked Pot, there'd be no more war!
But, for some reason the 'Powers that Be????'
seem to get away with persecuting me.
So if your a drinker go ahead, get trollied
but, if your a thinker, you'll get shopped!
You can get your hit anywhere
I my friend, have to search here and there!
