Well A , once upon a time i E n Seventeen Seventy-Six
Thomas D Jefferson signed his name on a piece of mari A juana
And this document was a E symbol of freedom
And of D liberty, at least for the rich white gentry
And time marched along, this plant that I referred to
Has been used for everything from medicine to the American flag
And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way
Things got messed up, yeah, messed up
For mari E juana
A gift of God to my brothers and A me D A
Oh, mari E juana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
Well, some say a conspiracy, the petrol, chemical and pulp paper
Industries combined to kill the competition
Government hysteria, monopoly
And conflict of interest with total impunity, yeah
So if you don't buy the conspiracy, just look at the reality
That your tax dollars go to spray poison
on the fields of a farmer in South America
And as an added bonus, your neighbour might be the proud recipient
Of that poison weed
Oh, mari E juana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
Oh, mari E juana
A gift of God to my brothers and A me D A
Oh, mari E juana
You can't legislate your own morali A ty D A
Oh, mari E juana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
Fmaj7 Free from madness, chronic sadness
What is the half-life of bad propa Am ganda
Fmaj7 The policies fail, denied bail
You made him a demon, now pay for his trip to Am prison
Hard to promote the status quo
But what is the shelf life of bad legislation
The hypocrite smirks, it's a moral disgrace
As he reads from the law that was D written
About the D/C same time
that he D/B had his last original E thoughts
Men said he was dying and the nausea and the pain
Left him wasting away and unable to keep a meal down
So he tried everything prescription could obtain
But to no avail, the side effects were worse than the pain
So now he breaks the law to use the one thing that seems
To help him out, but the people say, oh he's just gettin' high
But not to change the subject, but didn't you ever wonder why
Gettin' high's a crime, yeah, a crime
For mariju E ana
A gift of God to my brothers and A me D A
Oh, mariju E ana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
Oh, mariju E ana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
Oh, mariju E ana
The government wants to test me when I A pee D A
