Mojo Nixon Legalize It Lyrics

Everybodys worryin bout the drugs today
tellin our kids just what to say
great big problem all through the land
gotta find ourselves a brand new plan
put em in jail just dont work
just ask my brother soloman buerk
what we gotta do is in the profit
money is the key and we cant stop it
all this killin and corruption
couldnt be goin without usin a gun

What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
Gotta put them pushers right in the grave

all this murder and all this crime
there are so many people dyin
makin it illegals only made it worse
its like we got ourselves a great big curse
people think its cool cause its our law
think they rebel without a cause
we gotta help the sick and the addicted
but were killin ourselves with the new prohibition
our governments try to tell you what to do
decide for yourself whats right for you
if ya go too far and ya get outta hand
then ya take a little trip down to prison land

what we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do? Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
Gotta put them pushers right in the grave

the war on drugs is gonna lose
gotta take away the profit like we did with booze
people who could buy for one tenth of the price
wouldnt need to rob or use a knife
gotta take the cash out of this illegal trade
education and the laws have said
always been people addicted to drugs
heroin, cocain, evil thugs
just cause somebody cant handle anything
dont mean we have to pay for their pain
nicotine, caffine, chainsaws and guns
gotta make your own regulations
psychedelic mushrooms good fo yo mind
if your ready to use em then ya outta try em
how did freedom mess up your life?
decide for yourself whats wrong and whats right

what we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
Gotta put them pushers right in the grave
Yah what we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
What we gotta do?
Legalize it!
Gotta put them pushers right in the graaaaaave!!!!
