Uncle Sam - SMITH

The murderers keep murderin' The churches keep a burnin' The rapists keep a rapin' And the tide ain't turnin' Uncle Sam for all your power Things get worse every hour It seems to me your energies Are wasted chasin' my friends and me So hey, Uncle Sam Leave us pot smokers alone Uncle Sam Leave us pot smokers alone The terrorists keep terrorizin' Our leaders keep a lyin' The haters keep a hatin' And the planet's dyin' Uncle Sam, do what's proper Call off your dogs and your helicopters The problems of society Were not caused by my friends and me How many innocent people gonna be imprisoned We're just peace lovin' spleef puffin brotherhood freaks A touch of Mother Nature never made nobody violent Never made nobody hate nobody or break nobody's peace It's never been shown to be harmful don't you tell me no lies With your caffeine codeine nicotine eyes The cannabis ban is just recent just since 1938 Relegalize it. Realize it. You made a big mistake

Early one morning while you were asleep I received a letter, but there was no addressee So I paid it no mind, in fact, I wanted to send it back But something that I was feeling said open it It said "Dear Reader, once close friend of mine Hope that this letter finds you in time Cos your love is ending And my life's just beginning With a woman that I know you hold dear to you" And it made me wanna say I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't, I don't) But I stuck by you till the end And my conscience is clear And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you baby (Yeah yeah yeah) I don't ever wanna see you again (no) Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (Why did it have to be) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you-ou It took me a minute to wake up and see What the love of my life was doing to me I wanted to lay down and die Cos my pride wouldn't let me cry Some how I knew I had to get over it He said he couldn't understand until he felt your touch Now he can see why I love you so much And that's so unfair I never thought I'd have to share Your love that I thought was given to only me And that's why I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see) But I stuck by you till the end And my conscience is clear (clear) And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you baby (ooh) I don't ever wanna see you again Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (You could of picked anybody) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you (I was so true to my love for you) And you say you love me (And you said you loved me baby) Love must of been blind Cos I sure didn't see this one coming (I once was blind but now I see) My best friend huh They say keep the ones you love close And your enemies even closer But I can't win or lose you (You are the closest thing to me baby) Cos the one I thought was a friend to me Ended up being my true enemy Do we know the real pain you go through Listen to me baby I gave you everything, my love and my ring And you, violated me And I don't wanna see you again I don't ever wanna see you again But I stuck by you till the end (yeah) And my conscience is clear (so clear) And I can move on from here (move on from here) But I wish I could say the same for you Baby (I'm gonna say a prayer for you baby) I don't ever wanna see you again Tell me why did it have to be my best friend (You could of picked anybody) That you were messing round with I didn't wanna notice it I was true to my love for you (I was so true to my love for you)
