Thread Name: BS: State's Rights, Pot and the Supremes....
Subject: RE: BS: State's Rights, Pot and the Supremes....
Songs I wrote about pot..

to the tune A few of my favorite things

Pot makes you choke like a goat on galoshes
Cost of the smoke could buy boats for your bosses
Go for a drive around paranoid town.
These are the highs that will make you feel down.

When your lungs ache
and you eat cake
for a day, or two

Then you will know how pot improves your life
Like when you have the flu.

da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da
da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da
da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea
da dea da dea makes you forget the words

When the cops come
for your freedom
and you're thrown in jail

Your source for more pot will be better by far
as you grow old and pale.

Smokin herb
singin for da people
Rasta mon
sang his redemption song
Da words
same as beneath a steeple
Da road
to freedoms long.

300 years ago
Arabs sold the slaves.
Africa divided
white man reaped da gold.
Ossama is a traitor
a rich man we are told.
How'd he help da people?
They were lied to and sold.

Brother against brother
Is what the man counts on
When we are together
All they're power's gone

Love your child and free em
To reap what they can sow
If you want your freedom
Its all in what you know

Bob Marley's songs
in Africa.
We knew what
they were sick of.
There were raids
In ol Cape town
Half now die of Aids
buried in da ground.

The Al Queda
think they know the way.
With disease
they plan revenge
If they smoked mariquana
there'd be peace today.
You've got to tell your neighbor
There is a message we must send...



__________________________
Freedom needs compassion
Dats why we smoke da herb
When freedom is rationed
Your life becomes absurd

We're not the infidel
We're not the enemy
We are just the people
We are you, you are me.
