David Rovics - It's Legal Now

Now, this is a fuckin’ awesome song by an awesome artist on an important topic. Excellent lyrics!



”A song for the recent legalization of marijuana in my adopted home state of Oregon (and Washington, Colorado, etc.).”

— David Rovics



Lyrics:

For about a century, there was a prohibition

Which put a heck of a lot of people in a difficult position

Each year millions went to prison for planting the wrong seeds

Imprisoned for the crime of smoking weed

Imprisoned in their millions, especially those

Black or brown or wearing long hair and hippie clothes

But I stand here before you with quite a bit of pleasure

To tell you all about a successful ballot measure



It's legal now, it's legal now, take a bow, it's legal now



The politicians were useless, almost all the same

Playing the Military-Industrial-Prison-Complex game

But the regular people weren't nearly as dumb

So some folks took initiative and we passed a referendum

Now people don't have to risk arrest if they want to treat their ills

With something other than pharmaceutical pills

And if you just wanna take a hit because you like the feeling

You can safely walk the streets or just stare up at the ceiling



Now that pot's legit, at least in large parts of the west

We can get to work legalizing all the rest

The poppies and the coca leaves and all the other plants

Safer, regulated, will be the official stance

The CIA will have to find another way to operate

The FBI will need a new MO for their whole police state

When we legalize it all from the west coast to the east

Then we can say right here in the belly of the beast

Help War Refugees

Nearly 60 million people worldwide have been driven from their homes by war and persecution. Half of the displaced are children. For once, instead of spending billions on war, the U.S. should use their resources to provide humanitarian relief and save lives.

Donald Trump Hosting Saturday Night LIVE?

Trump’s comments about immigrants led NBC to cutting ties with the racist this past summer. Now Lorne Michaels wants to bring the creep back to host NBC’s Saturday Night Live, where he would reach millions of intellectually underdeveloped viewers.
