An original song for your listening pleasure
....about DRUGS! dun dun dun!
Alright class. Let's get a few things straight,
A psychedelic overdose can be something great, let me explain
When you over drink from the demon's booze
You wind up passed out, vomit in your shoes
And people legally die, families legally break
But a second chance might be too late
And that hole you feel from eternal loss?
It's gonna keep growing despite your cause
Enter the old man's lie
"if you take a drug then you're probably gonna die"
Why are we so afraid?
The bumps in the night yeah they'll probably go away
Now class for hypothetical sake
Let's say you eat some magic mushrooms while you're in this state
Won't you die? Isn't that bad?
Well little Jimmy lets see what the research said:
"Zero fatalities due to an overdose
A longer human record than the pharms can boast
A greater success rate for curing depression
And it came from the earth-let's continue our lesson"
Like an onion, you have emotional layers
That hold all your traumas and unanswered prayers
And by peeling these back one by one
You release the pressure and start having some fun,
Maybe for the first time, you begin to feel free
Of the unconsented obligation of reality (wow that's deep)
And to say that's wrong? To judge like they care?
Their brains must be warped from all the sugar and beer.
Enter the old man's lie
"if you take a drug then you're probably gonna die"
Why are we so afraid?
The bumps in the night yeah they'll probably go away
Now let's discuss this topic of addiction
Because their paranoid delusions have got them trippin'
As research has shown, there this little thing called tolerance
And most psychedelics chalk off that addiction myth to irrelevance
For how can you overly use and abuse
Something that takes about a week to rejuice?
Yeah, you heard that right
These meds have a built in "don't get addicted light"
And who would want to try anyways?
When the universe answers-you go on with your days
Sure these meds aren't a perfect cure
And dangers do exist despite the lure
Like would you let a child try to drive your car?
Or would you teach them over time and reduce the harm?
With these ancient medicines, there IS a safer way
Do your research, test your substances, and stay in a safe place
Le's recap cuz it's worth repeating
Find the right plant and you won't die from eating
Enter the old man's lie
"if you take a drug then you're probably gonna die"
Why are we so afraid?
The bumps in the night yeah they'll probably go away
You think this is helping to hold all the power
You'd throw out your own child from your high moral tower
And you'd watch her dissolve in a world full of sin
Because in your closed mindedness
There's a "right" way to win?
I hate to break it to you, but life's not a game
It's a chance to observe, to grow, and to change
And if something is beyond your level of understanding
Don't stick your fingers in your ears and say "I'm not listening.
