GONNA CLAIM WHAT'S MINE
Legalise marijuana, it's medicine, it's good for you!
VERSE 1
This is the first song I'll write in jail!
Will I win my appeal?
Will I get bail?
Now I’m in here because I saw justice fail
I’ve got no freedom,
I’ll get no tail
I’m an epileptic who needs to smoke pot
It’s the best control tool I have got
But justice is by pharmaceuticals bought
So now in jail I must rot
The problem is un-patent-able grass
No profit for the drug biz fat-ass
1848 monopoly came to pass
Wilke vs. A.M.A. exposed it at last
Now I’m fighting for truth and what is right
I’ll keep fighting for my life with all my might
Until I erase this legal and medical plight
And greedy profiteers who are Satan’s delight
CHORUS
Gonna get real high
Gonna grow it for myself
Fuck the fascist’s lies
‘Cause I need it for my health
Gonna fight it in court
Gonna waive my protest sign
Gonna organize a smoke-in
GONNA CLAIM WHAT’S MINE!
(repeat)
VERSE 2
I’ve been looking for health but I just get sick
From badly tested xenobiotics
But pot works great and does the trick real quick
So let’s load up the bong and roll up a stick
(repeat X3)
Repeat verse 1
Chorus
