War on Drugs

(Intro: Ronald Reagan) Drugs are menacing our society. They're threatening our values and undercutting our institutions. They're killing our children [Verse 1] Parents hear me get your kids in DARE when they're third grade and up Before they hear about marijuana dear, that's the gateway drug Sheryl, Darryl, when they offer it just say nuh uh Or you'll be sharing heroin with derelicts with angel dust Prolly do cocaine and such That stuff is so dangerous Would have to have our whole entire congregation pray for us Sheryl don't be gigglin', Darryl take your Ritalin Kids you've got your mother so worked up I need my pill again A milligram, a bit of a gin, I think I'll have, a drink or ten Wouldn't need it if your fucking father wasn't in the pen Pastor said we should forgive him but I know he’ll sin again Locked away for using pot, see what that shit did to him? Rot away in general pop, may never see you kids again He smoked a lot, my God, he’ll prolly drop dead of carcinogens Kids, if you do drugs, you'll end up exactly like him then Now Darryl, be a good, good boy and get your mom her Vicodin (hurry up) (hook) Let’s raise incarceration, lock them up no toleration We made this legislation for a safer population One nation under God, we’ll pray for you in congregation (The war on drugs) Go get an occupation, no you can't be out here slanging In this here nation, see we get our drugs from corporations No rehabilitation straight to prison population (The war on drugs) (verse 2) Larry grew various strains of Mary Jane In his basemen, varied from very potent to tame Larry smoked every day Blueberry dro was his fav' It carried him thru the pain When he barely could keep on weight Was married but now estranged Quiet kept to himself Chemo treatment by day then by night got high by himself Lived in the bible belt Where you can't buy pot off the shelf So he thought what the hell, I'ma grow this all by myself Ordered seeds off the internet Where he’d read how to tend to it How to water and light them right so his trees, they would benefit But the DEA had been tracking him Electric bill through the roof and receiving all of these packages After a strenuous day, Larry had gone to sleep As a SWAT team circled his house carefully with no peep “Be wary listen to me, we go on the count of 3” (1...2...3) kicked down his door and swarmed like a bee “Freeze” they yelled as Larry awoke in panic He frantically jumped to stand and ran away so erratic Sporadically and so manic, managed to get 6 feet But the SWAT team, also so frantic, and emptied their M16s Larry's body convulses, it hit the floor in a heap Quickly checked for a pulse, was pronounced dead on the scene Swept the rest of his house, found the jackpot and seized Larry's plants and an ounce, a criminal off the streets [Hook]
