What are the reasons that we carry on this way A change is coming but it didn't come today The sun goes down I see some hope with each new moon In my heart of hearts I hope that change is coming soon It's getting ugly, can't you see we're not criminals,it's time to set your people free Here comes the emperor, whose clothes we've never seen I'd like to tell him but the sheriff treats you mean If old lies fade why must we live on in the past I know mistakes are made but they don't have to last Who we hurting, when we say To legalize has got t be a better way The Mar'bro man drinks beer and sometimes smokes a "j" He pisses in a jar and they snatch his dreams away Is your pursuit of happiness more just than mine So many legal drugs it all seems so unkind Who we hurting, when we choose a different drummer, try some herb instead of booze Nation of nitwits listen to the lies of fools Stand by in silence as others suffer from these rules Prisons on every corner cannot save this land We need compassion, like in Amsterdam It's a warzone, we made it so We can change it, and let our people grow
