Dar Williams - The pointless yet poignant crisis of a co-ed

I'm not a ^Dmleader I'm not a left-wing rhetoric ^Gmobilizing force of ^Cone But there was a ^Dmtime way back Many years ago in ^Gcollege, don't ^Claugh But I thought I was a ^Dmradical I ran a Hemp Liberation ^Ggroup with my ^Amboyfriend It was ^Dmtrue love With a common cause, and be^Gsides that, he was a Sagit^Ctarius ^{G Am}

We used to ^Dmsay that our love was like hemp rope Three ^Gtimes as strong as the rope that you find do^Ammestically And we would ^Dmbond in the face Of oppression from big ^Gbusiness and the ^Cdeans But I knew there was a ^Dmproblem Every time the group would ^Gmeet, everyone would ^Amlight up Made it ^Dmdifficult To discuss glaucoma and ^Ghuman rights, not to mention chemo^Ctherapy ^{G Am}

Well ^Dmsometimes Life gives us lessons ^Gsent in ridiculous ^Ampackaging So I ^Dmfound him in the arms of a Student A^Ggainst The Treacherous Use Of ^CFur And he gave no a^Dmpology He just turned to me, stoned ^Gout to the edge of o^Amblivion He didn't ^Dmpull up the sheets and I think he even ^Gsmiled as he said to ^Cme,

N.C.

"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke, uh huh huh"

And a^Dmnother thing, "What kind of a name is ^GStudents Against the Treacherous Use of ^AmFur? Fur is a^Dmlready dead And besides, a name like ^Gthat doesn't make a good ^Cacronym" ^{G Am}

I am ^Dmolder now I know the rise and gradual ^Gfall of a daily ^Amvictory And I still ^Dmwrite to my senators Saying they should legalize ^Gcannabis, and I should ^Cknow 'Cause I am a horti^Dmculturist I have a husband and two ^Gchildren out in ^AmLexington, Mass. And my ^Dmex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold^G out Because he's in a ^Ccult ^G And he's not allowed to ^Ctalk to me ^{G C}
