Steve Earle wrote this song, this is a great song but poorly interpreted by this dope fiend dead bastard

Brad Nowell wrote real music about real life struggles. yea he sings about being on drugs but at the same time telling the dangers of it. if u dont like the sublime version then dont listen to it and go back to sucking steve earls dick. if u have anything else to get off your breast, feel free.

Steve Earle did not write the song. The original is by The Slickers, a jamaican reggae group. I have heard all the covers of this song and I must say, none come even close to the greatness of the original.
