MARIJUANA (The government wants to test me when I pee)
Words and Music: Brian Robbins
Well once upon a time in 1776,
Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
And this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty,
At least for the rich, white gentry.
As time marched along,
This plant that I refer 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.
Oh marijuana.
A gift of God to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
Now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Well some say a conspiracy
Of the petro-chemical and pulp-paper industries combined
Ha to kill the compitition.
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 neighbor might be the proud recipions of that poison weed.
Oh marijuana
Now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana
A gift of god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
You can't legislate your own morality.
Oh marijuana
The government wants to test me when I pee
Reefer madness, chronic sadness,
What is the half-life of bad propaganda?
Policies fail, denied bail,
You made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison.
Hired 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 a law that was written
About the same time that he had
His last original thought.
Well the 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 a 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.
And the people say, Oh he's just getting' high.
But not to change the subject but,
Didn't you ever wonder why getting' high's a crime,
Yeah a crime.
Oh marijuana, a gift to god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana, now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, this is the part when everyone would sing along aha,when I pee
Phish is an American rock band formed in 1983 in Burlington, Vermont. Comprised of Trey Anastasio (guitar and vocals), Jon Fishman (drums and vocals), Mike Gordon (bass and vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards and vocals), the band is known for its extended improvisational jams and eclectic mix of musical genres ranging from rock to jazz, funk to bluegrass, folk, blues, progressive, and even classical elements. Phish has cultivated a devoted following thanks to their original music, energetic live performances, and strong connection with fans. Each concert is unique, with variable setlists and improvisations that make every performance an unrepeatable event. After nearly 21 years of activity, the band disbanded in 2004 before reuniting in 2008. Among their most representative songs are "Free", "You Enjoy Myself", "Tweezer", and "Harry Hood".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
