Hemp Song

„Jährlich sterben in Deutschland etwa 15000 Menschen an den Folgen von Alkoholkonsum, doch Kinder und Jugendliche können diesen ohne Probleme im Supermarkt um die Ecke kaufen. Es kann nicht angehen, daß Menschen für den Genuß von weichen Drogen wie Cannabis, die im Vergleich zur Volks­droge Nummer Eins, dem Alkohol, gesundheitlich relativ unbedenklich ist, kriminalisiert werden, von dem medizinischen Verlust ganz zu schweigen..."

I listen to the wind, there's a rumour in the air
I can hear it everday and everywhere
There's something coming to help us, to heat, to give us hope
but you criminals up there just call it dope

[Refrain:]
So you shut up, so you shut up, nobody knows,
nobody knows why we should not smoke what in God's garden grows
so you shut up, so you shut up, nobody knows,
nobody knows why we should not use what in God's garden grows

Goodbye, my sleepless nights, goodbye to you my pain
I'm feeling good and hungry and relaxed again
No I don't care to break your laws, coz they are your laws and not mine
I light myself a spliff and I feel fine.

[Refrain]

This land around us drowns in a sea without a soul
in a sea of bitter pills and alcohol
So many people need your help, but you don't listen to their yell
You still preach "smoking grass is the road to hell"

[Refrain]
