lyrics

Adam 25

lyrics ©Greg Stomberg

the guards are all asleep so no one watches you
so we get up to do whatever we want to
with the forests extinct
we hid in the grass near the hemp plants
the guards searched by day
at night we foraged while the leaders did rant
we wanted to be free
from the orders given by madmen
we escaped the great city
and hid in the wilds of the garden's den
we know our ancestors all smoked hemp
but now its use was industrial
someone whittled a makeshift pipe
to smoke some hemp buds for awhile
he lit some up and coughed
so we laughed as he passed it along
someone told a joke
and we laughed and laughed forever
let's take some of this now
so we can smoke it whenever

daylight - in utopia's garden
is a work day
routing - in utopia's machine
always the same way
midnight - in utopia's garden
is a strange time
moonlight - in utopia's machine
feels so fine

the outlawing of dreams
was this plant's major downfall
they won't let us smoke
because they want it all
but hemp is also for smoking
not just for the hempseed oil
so the people all smoke it
after a hard day's toil
we threw away our cigarettes
that addicted us to their ways
and celebrated life
because it's nature's way

daylight - in utopia's garden
is a work day
routing - in utopia's machine
always the same way
midnight - in utopia's garden
is a strange time
moonlight - in utopia's machine
feels so fine
