Wait! What Is That Smell?
Funny how we speak with two tongues
How we sing two tunes to the same song
We claim that all things God made are good
Yet, we condemn when they're not understood
Marijuana, the herb is not of itself, bad
It is man’s greed and indiscipline that is sad
I bet, the corporate drug lords will now lobby the hill
In the rush to enlarge their bank accounts, still
Soon the old, sick and depressed in some states
Will have to pay triple! Yes, that is their fate
There has to be more research, new laws on the books
To cut off the street gangs, pushers and such folks
Make a difference in the crime rate, clean up the streets
If buying cigarette with carcinogens is legal
Makes no sense, for all the fuss, let’s be real
Left as is, soon more twelve year olds will sell!
Did you say, ‘Not in my hood?! Wait! What's that smell?!
