D.M.S.O. Lyrics
(Jello Biafra/Dead Kennedys)
D. M. S. O.
Crypto Wonder Drug
In vogue
Some people say
It cures arthritis
Maybe that's why
It keeps getting banned
It's absorbed
Directly through the skin
Mix it with lemon juice
Touch your fingertips
You'll taste the lemon
The police
Started a riot
Down at the courthouse
Again
Running amok
Spilling blood
Bashing heads
I do my part
Behind the lines
Swabbing door handles of cop cars
With D.M.S.O.
Mixed with L.S.D.....

D.M.S.O is a solvent which penetrates the skin deeply and quickly. Usually, other chemicals are dissolved in it and when it penetrates the skin it carries those chemicals with it into the body. In this case, Jello is talking about using it to dissolve LSD and then swabbing the solution on police car handles as a prank.
DMSO is Dimethylsulfoxide. In the body, it acts similarly to water. In small doses, it can actualloy be consumed without any detrimental affects.

In the 80's it was believed that DMSO could be a potential cure for arthritis. It certainly did relieve the pain people were feeling, however it was never certified. This is the conspiracy Jello is singing about.

However, it was eventually discovered that DMSO wasn't really "curing" arthritis. It was simply killing all of the nerves around the treated area. That's why it was never approved for medical use. It is still used as...

And yes, mixing it with LSD and rubbing it on your skin will get you high.
It is just Jello being Jello with his crazy ideas for pranks
Actually, there's a big underlying message in it... do some research and see if you can find it.
can you tell us?!?!?!? and does D.M.S.O exist? I'm googling it now.
ok i checked it seems pretty interesting, and jello has a good idea about mixing D.M.S.O with LSD and swabbing it on cop car handels
