The emperor
What are the reasons that we carry on this way
A change is coming but it didn't come today
The sun goes down I see some hope with each new moon
In my heart of hearts I hope that change is coming soon
It's getting ugly, can't you see
we're not criminals,it's time to set your people free
Here comes the emperor, whose clothes we've never seen
I'd like to tell him but the sheriff treats you mean
If old lies fade why must we live on in the past
I know mistakes are made but they don't have to last
Who we hurting, when we say
To legalize has got t be a better way
The Mar'bro man drinks beer and sometimes smokes a "j"
He pisses in a jar and they snatch his dreams away
Is your pursuit of happiness more just than mine
So many legal drugs it all seems so unkind
Who we hurting, when we choose
a different drummer, try some herb instead of booze
Nation of nitwits listen to the lies of fools
Stand by in silence as others suffer from these rules
Prisons on every corner cannot save this land
We need compassion, like in Amsterdam
It's a warzone, we made it so
We can change it, and let our people grow
A change is coming but it didn't come today
The sun goes down I see some hope with each new moon
In my heart of hearts I hope that change is coming soon
It's getting ugly, can't you see
we're not criminals,it's time to set your people free
Here comes the emperor, whose clothes we've never seen
I'd like to tell him but the sheriff treats you mean
If old lies fade why must we live on in the past
I know mistakes are made but they don't have to last
Who we hurting, when we say
To legalize has got t be a better way
The Mar'bro man drinks beer and sometimes smokes a "j"
He pisses in a jar and they snatch his dreams away
Is your pursuit of happiness more just than mine
So many legal drugs it all seems so unkind
Who we hurting, when we choose
a different drummer, try some herb instead of booze
Nation of nitwits listen to the lies of fools
Stand by in silence as others suffer from these rules
Prisons on every corner cannot save this land
We need compassion, like in Amsterdam
It's a warzone, we made it so
We can change it, and let our people grow
