They say drugs will inspire./ I call them all liars./ The pusher and the buyer/ are both victims of this shit./ You should read Beggar's Opera./

Do you learn things often?/ Are you easy to sway?/ Your mind malleable like clay?/ Maybe you want something/ closer to home that I can send you./ Read "America" by the poet Allen Ginsberg./ It's a trip where I stay,/ People pass me everyday./ I can't tell a friend from an enemy,/ That's my struggle./ I'm a jackass who never learned to juggle./ Someone's got to say something,/ and someone's always in my way./ I'm just a mouse in a maze./

I'm shocked and amazed./ I watched a documentary on Paxil today./ They're selling cures that veil our dreams./ Heaven is packaged in a bottle filled/

with magic little beans./ Please believe me I know what I mean./ We take the naive and push em'/ until their green./
