Title: Legalise
Post by: Natty_Fred on March 31, 2004, 05:03:26 AM
Oh why oh why must I put my freedom on the line?
Just to grow the herb and let it burn now...
Oh why oh why do they say i'm a criminal and it's a crime?
Please tell I what is your concern now...

You say it's bad for health and society,
Lord, just cos you can't control it and have your way...

This prohibition of herb is running out of time,
Too many now treat it with resistance...
And all the while you ply us with the coffee, drugs and wine,
So we may require your assistance...

Legalise marijuana...just let it be,
Legalise the marijuana...And set I free.

Legalise...Legalise The Herb
Legalise...shout let it be heard
Legalise...that and one thing more
Legalise...after that we'll be back for sure...for more

Legalise marijuana...just let it be,
Legalise the marijuana...And set I free.

I feel the weight of this law, gathering over me,
This system's got I on the defence...
You're just rocking the boat on the shore, disturbing him and me, I&I
Just have to tell you that it don't make no sense.

You say it's bad for health and society,
Lord, just cos you can't control it and have your way...

We're not just fighting for herb, we're fighting for our rights,
I just though I & I should say so...
And though we fight our war with our words, you're fighting yours with might,
Which is lower than I & I can go

Legalise marijuana...just let it be,
Legalise the marijuana...And set I free.

Legalise...Legalise The Herb
Legalise...shout let it be heard
Legalise...that and one thing more
Legalise...after that we'll be back for sure

Legalise marijuana...just let it be,
Legalise the marijuana...And set us all free.
