Can’t sit on my porch and smoke a J And remember how peaceful life can be But all night long are a bunch of pushers Selling drugs right there on my TV Drugs that whether or not I buy Are gonna end up in my water supply Along with who knows what else, who knows when, Just gotta take a deep breath and drink it in
