the gregory brothers - the war on drugs is a failure lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: ron paul and michael gregory]
we need to repeal the whole war on drugs
it isn’t working
we don’t have to have more courts and more prisons
this has to change
this has to change
prohibition didn’t work
prohibition on drugs doesn’t work
we have spent over four hundred billion dollars
it’s a waste of money

[chorus; ron paul, michael gregory, both]
we need to come to our senses
let’s put down the guns and unclench the fists
we need to come to our senses
yeah we don’t treat alcoholics like this
we need to come to our senses
prohibition’s failing more than in 1926
we need to come to our senses
we don’t treat alcoholics like this

[post-chorus: michael gregory]
too many people doing time
when did recreation become a crime?
it’s bright-eyed kids we’re sending into prison
they go in as superheroes and come out super-villains
could’ve had more einsteins, more magellans
but we made a thousand al capone-level felons
take out a dealer and ten more appear
so let’s ban curing cancer, we’ll cure it within a year

[post-post-chorus: ron paul, michael gregory, >b>both]
we need to come to our senses (our senses)
our senses
our senses

[verse 2: andrew cuomo]
of fifty-thousand arrests
eighty-two percent are black and hispanic
these arrests stigmatize
they criminalize
making it harder to find a job
making it harder to get into schools
making it harder to turn their lives around
it must end, and it must end now

[verse 3: chris christie]
the war on drugs
while well-intentioned, has been a failure
we’re warehousing addicted people everyday in state prisons
giving them no treatment
sending them back on the street
and wondering why they don’t get better
why they commit crimes again
well, they commit crimes to support their addiction

[chorus: chris christie, michael gregory, gregory and paul]
the war on drugs is a failure
let’s put down the guns and unclench the fists
the war on drugs is a failure
we don’t treat alcoholics like this
the war on drugs is a failure
prohibition’s failing more than in 1926
the war on drugs is a failure
we don’t treat alcoholics like this

[outro: kevin smith and jason mewes]
the cops got better things to do anyway
like stop real crimes instead of wasting time
chasing that mary-jane
stoned people don’t start fights (no they don’t)
stoned people don’t rob banks (not even close)
the worst thing stoned people do
is steal their roommates oreos
and that’s a misdemeanor at most
a misdemeanor at most
a misdemeanor at most
