Marijuana Laws Lyrics

What are we gonna do about these marijuana laws?
They're coming after you
Throw your hands against the wall

He don't wanna hurt nobody
He just wants to smoke some weed
She just wanna get her mind right
Everyday of the week
But there's an issue with this lifestyle
Some people wanna see them sweating in a cell
Punished for reefer madness, the cure for sadness
And we just wanna treat our mental health

I saw the flashing and I knew it was over
The red and blue in my rearview
My eyes are red, I wanna talk to my lawyer
Look what my world has come to

What are we gonna do about these marijuana laws?
They're coming after you
Throw your hands against the wall

The DEA is knocking down the doors
Throwing hard working honest men and women to the floors
They're scaring all their kids while they're sleeping in their beds
These people wanna live, they wanna take it to the head
One hundred million people say it ain't that bad
And they'll continue smoking just to make you mad
Slowly making progress across the nation
But they're still making arrests, so much work to be done

I saw the flashing and I knew it was over
The red and blue in my rearview 
My eyes are red, I wanna talk to my lawyer
Look what my world has come to

What are we gonna do about these marijuana laws?
They're coming after you
Throw your hands against the wall

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
