Heroin has stigma like meth and crack cocaine
Drug users aren't all losers
They can't all be insane but sanity is not a
Trait of extraordinary man
Sometimes it's drugs not necessity that't
The mother of invention

Ben Franklin smoked opium when he
Held that lightning rod
So did Queen Victoria and the Marquis de Sade
Sigmund Freud did his best
Work on coca medicine
So did Grover Cleveland and Thomas Edison

Would Einstein have split the atom?
Would Carl Sagan have pondered space?
When the smartest people are doin' drugs it
Makes the world a much better place
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates took
Acid and changed technology
The Beatles' trips led to Lucy, Rita
And Eleanor Rigby
And all the absinthe that Van Gogh drank
Made made a much starier night
Without drugs would Munch's scream have
Really been such a fight?
(that's not so scary)

Would Bonds have hit those
Hundreds of homers?
Would Lance have ever won in France?
When a record's breaking, an athlete's takin'
A drug to keep performance enhanced

So you guys are trying to tell me that
If i take drugs i'm gonna be smarter?
We're not saying it's gonna make you smarter
But it might make you more interesting

Aaron Sorkin wrote his best while
He was smokin' crack
Amphetamines were the favorite means of
Ayn Rand and Kerouac
Charlie Dickens told the tale
On opiates we know
So did Burroughs, Huxley, Oscar Wilde
And Edgar Allen Poe

If everyone was sober
Could you call this country free?
Would we maintain our ethics and ingenuity?
Progressive thought doesn't happen a lot
In a dry society
When everyone is doin' some it makes the
World a better place to be

So smoke a joint, or snort a line
Or drop some LSD use a bong, a glass pipe
Or go strait to an IV
It's a simple case of better
Living in modern chemistry
When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the
World a better place to be
When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the
World a better place to be
So quit NA, and screw AA, and f*ck sobriety
When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the
World a better place to be
