Light the match, burn the flower
Leave behind all the wrong
Why be sad when happiness can be bought for a little more than free
Modern day prohibition
Are we men? Are we children?
At what age can I choose how to live?
The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs
Haven't we learned our lesson?
The corner store sells finer Scotch
But who's got uncut powder?
We just want what is ours: dignity
If god created plants and buds that I find and abuse
Then who the fuck are you to judge me?
great song... cant relate, but its still fucking awesome!
makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
i like i like good song
heck yeah it makes a lot of sense. My entire political philosophy can pretty much be summed up by the lines, "Are we men, are we children at what age can I choose how to live?" That is brilliant. I have two corrections though. The lyric is "finer" scotch not "finest." Also he says "bud" not "burr." okay.
this song is awesome. good lyrics.. like all nofx songs! :)
The song is about drug legalization. I think it has a beautiful melody and the lyrcis are awesome.
"The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs Haven't we Learned our lesson?"
I love that part.
Peace
This is one of my favorite NOFX songs.
"The corner store sells finer Scotch But who's got uncut powder."
Alcohol is just as much a drug as anything else. I don't personally use drugs or condone the use of drugs per se, but what a great point... Alcohol causes more deaths than most if not all other drugs, yet it's a mainstay in western culture?! Anyway, heh, I also don't really say that people shouldn't drink, my point is though -- if i can drink why can't I buy some methamphetamine or something at the store? It's not any worse for me... Nic
Wow, listened to this song SO many times, i love it and i knew the message it was trying to put across, but when you read it normally it makes perfect sense. NOFX at their best telling it how it is, i must say i dont do drugs but i can see their point and its hard to argue against when you look at it like they have.
fuck yes its all true and more people are killed by the war on drugs than the drugs themselves exelent song.
