lirik lagu ghosty boy - war on drugs
i said the war on drugs
ain’t nothing but a racket, man
it keeps the poor kids poor
and it keeps the black kids down
it keeps the power corrupt
it keeps the pigs good and fat
while the poor kids go to prison
the upper cl-ss is kicking back
go
said i’ve been thinking about the way
that the planet spins
and i’ve been thinking
about this f-cked up world we live in
and i’ve been thinking about them
locking up all these poor black thugs
and now i’m thinking its time to talk
about the war on drugs
cause the problem is
as it seems to be
speaking strictly statistically
3 out of 4 drug offenders
sent to prison are black
now could you tell me, brother
what the f-ck is up with that?
and about 1 out of 5
prisoners in the us are drug offenders
and at least half of those arrests
are pot-smokers
man i can’t believe
they still lock people up
for smoking weed
now tell me why the f-ck
you want to throw
a harmless marijuana smoker
into prison
man, it’s embarr-ssing
but i guess that’s justice
in the land of the free
cause the
war on drugs
ain’t nothing but a racket man
it keeps the poor kids poor
and it keeps the black kids down
it keeps the power corrupt
it keeps the pigs good and fat
and while the poor kids go to prison
the upper cl-ss is kicking back
we’re taking it back
we’re taking it back
we’re taking it back now to 1936
does anybody remember refer madness?
now get this:
apparently weed is the reason
that white women get raped
by satanic jazz musicians
and if think it’s cause
people were stupid back then
well the fact is
the propaganda started a trend
that continues now
to this very day
fear and racism
that’s the way that they
manipulate the public
toward m-ss paranoia
now fast forward to that
special message nixon signed
back in 1969
and so the war on drugs was born
and billions of tax dollars blown
the prison population in the states explodes
set those people free
they ain’t criminals
cause the war on drugs
ain’t nothing but a racket man
it keeps the poor kids poor
and it keeps the black kids down
it keeps the power corrupt
it keeps the pigs good and fat
while the poor kids go to prison
the upper cl-ss is kicking back
well just set them free
well it’s all over now
justice has prevailed
looks like that war on drugs has failed
let’s be real for a minute, man
what’s the score?
looks like there’s more drugs now
then there ever was before
so let’s
light that victory joint up now
take a hit brother
p-ss it around
i said i dedicate the drugs i’m about to do
to the cops and the preachers
and the judges too
to the politicians and the cia
to the baby boomers with one foot in the grave
the paranoid parents and the teachers too
heads up, light it up
this blunts for you
so let’s pop these pills
and drop these shrooms
let’s take these shots
and drink this booze
let’s h-t these lines up just for fun
no, we don’t stop
until the party’s done
and the sun comes up
and the guests are gone
except one dude p-ssed out on the lawn
but we’re winning the war
its a brand new day
so f-ck it, light up
it’s time to celebrate
