Smoke Two Joints Lyrics
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
My daddy, he once told me, "Son, you be hard-working man."
My mama, she once told me, "Son, do the best you can."
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good, and hard work fine, but first take care of head."
So now I
Smoke two joints when I get up
In the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game
And at every ten thousand points I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
My mama, she once told me, "Son, do the best you can."
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good, and hard work fine, but first take care of head."
Smoke two joints when I get up
In the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game
And at every ten thousand points I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more

great rasta feeling when this song plays, great song to smoke to! but is this guy saying he smokes because its so good or is it because he got hooked on the habbit by the man he met one day. either the man "showed him the light" in the it was a good thing, or the man "got him started" in a bad way. now i know marijuana isnt addictive , but habbits start that people may not want. i personally know i am not addicted but i dont think i ever want to stop. is that an addiction? can people be addicted to anything that feels good? rollercoasters, sex, food, dancing, listening to music, working, mowing the yard, even taking a piss? who's to say this guy enjoys smoking two joints, perhaps he's trying to quit.
Porbably not, weed is too damn good and this guy knows it
This is clearly a crypto-Marxist allusion to the factors that keep society balanced. When he 'smokes two joints' expresses a deep realisation that the bonds between honest working class folk are destroyed by the huge growth available from capital investment, compared with overall economic growth, causing instability in capitalist society.
This couldn't be spelt out more clearly than in the reference to war and peace, the eternal crucible capitalism uses to oppress the person in the street. Sadly the authour's parents are complicit in this destructive cycle.
Too right, an awesome song. A brilliant subtlety of humour as well.
PFFT, Joints are Wasteful
