WellA, once upon a time iEn Seventeen Seventy-Six
Thomas DJefferson signed his name on a piece of mariAjuana
And this document was a Esymbol of freedom
And of Dliberty, at least for the rich white gentry
And time marched along, this plant that I referred to
Has been used for everything from medicine to the American flag
And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way
Things got messed up, yeah, messed up
For mariEjuana
A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A
Oh, mariEjuana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
Well, some say a conspiracy, the petrol, chemical and pulp paper
Industries combined to kill the competition
Government hysteria, monopoly
And conflict of interest with total impunity, yeah
So if you don't buy the conspiracy, just look at the reality
That your tax dollars go to spray poison
on the fields of a farmer in South America
And as an added bonus, your neighbour might be the proud recipient
Of that poison weed
Oh, mariEjuana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
Oh, mariEjuana
A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A
Oh, mariEjuana
You can't legislate your own moraliAty D A
Oh, mariEjuana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
Fmaj7Free from madness, chronic sadness
What is the half-life of bad propaAmganda
Fmaj7The policies fail, denied bail
You made him a demon, now pay for his trip to Amprison
Hard to promote the status quo
But what is the shelf life of bad legislation
The hypocrite smirks, it's a moral disgrace
As he reads from the law that was Dwritten
About the D/Csame time
that he D/Bhad his last original Ethoughts
Men said he was dying and the nausea and the pain
Left him wasting away and unable to keep a meal down
So he tried everything prescription could obtain
But to no avail, the side effects were worse than the pain
So now he breaks the law to use the one thing that seems
To help him out, but the people say, oh he's just gettin' high
But not to change the subject, but didn't you ever wonder why
Gettin' high's a crime, yeah, a crime
For marijuEana
A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A
Oh, marijuEana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
Oh, marijuEana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
Oh, marijuEana
The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
