Paroles de Bad Trip

Elimination?, eradication? What we need is regulation! War on drugs; a bunch of lies And we're the ones who pay the price Society makes me fucking sick That's why I'm on a Bad Trip Millions of people behind bars Government's fighting a civil war Dealers, (drug)lords, gangs and crime This policy fucking blows my mind Song about our fucked up society in general, and this ridiculous war on drugs. World governments have spent hundreds of billions of dollars trying to make the world 'drug-free'. Yet heroin, cocaine, etc. are cheaper, purer and easier to get than ever before. The rates of death, disease, crime and addiction have skyrocketed. The war on drugs is also a war on race and gender; millions of people are behind bars on minor drug charges (like smoking a joint) especially women and people of color. The average sentence in the US for a first time, non-violent drug offender is LONGER than the average sentence for rape, manslaughter, bank robbery or child molestation!!! This is totally insane! People should not be punished for what they put into their bodies, but only for crimes committed against others. What we need is education and regulation!
