Standard (EADGBE)
It was long ago
seems like a dream
the day I sucked the air
from a bottle of whipped cream
and I got real high
and things got real slow
and I started talking like this
whats going on? I don't know
and then I sold my car
For a greatful dead ticket
and my dad yelled at me
and he grounded me
and he said I was a dick It was the worst day of my life
and ill never forget it
but the very next day
I was doing bong hits in the back of my friends chevete
so don't tell me we're winning the war on drugs
cause drugs are like a big old can of Raid and you're all little bugs
and don't tell me to not get high
cause im as low as i can get without kissing your ass and blowing you at the same time
Chorus
man don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Jones' has a hand gun pointing at me
dont tell me to "Just say no"
am an addict, I say no to let me go
whatever happened to sex drugs and rock and roll?
now we just have aids, crack and techno
so they busted me!
I said I say, fuck them up for selling dope
and i went to jail and I wasn't forgiven
like that little fucker who shot the pope and said
I have the right to remain silent
but they couldn't explain
how i didn't exist no I wasnt violent
cause all i ever wanted is the right to remain
and then they questioned me, yeah they asked me
why?
and I said I don't think I should be shot for selling pot
this is my little way of saying...
high, and now my record is all fucked up
and im not allowed to vote
and two times a week they make me piss in a cup
but what i wanna do is piss down their throats
Chorus
man don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Jones' has a hand gun pointing at me
dont tell me to just say no
im an addict, I say no to let me go
whatever happened to sex drugs and rock and roll?
now we just have aids, crack and techno.
