Why do we spend every day
Learning lessons
We do not keep?
Whether it's through taxes or tuition
We ignore our intuition
And pay thousands of dollars to the institutions
So we can merrily memorize
The properties of pot
How and why
it is bad
It does more than lift our sad to glad.
But Then we turn around and
breathe
it in
Why do we spend every waking hour
Dishing out our pockets for the drugs
that are never cheap?
We claim and we protest, so that we can be more free.
But then we turn around, inhale, exhale,
consume,
who needs to breathe?
I don't know what you're talking about
There's no problem here
Just some kids looking for a good time
So come on, take a puff, and grab a beer!
I'msosorry thatchu donlikehavinfun
But you can't bash what we enjoy
So either shut the door
On your
Way
Out
Or jump on in, it's time to get drunk
Time to get buzzed
Time to forget
Time to lose ourselves and give in
It's not giving up
It's just
"Having fun"
Doing everything we paid to learn not to do,
It's a thrill and if we like it why should we listen to you?
Maybe it's caused some harm, but I'm the exception don't ya know
So if your here to lecture me, I think it's time for you to go.
Because they said no it makes us want to more
