It was Glong ago 
seems lDike a dream 
the day I Emsucked the air 
from a Cbottle of whipped cream 
and I gGot real high 
and things gDot real slow Em  
and I started talking like this 
wChats going on? I don't know
and then I sGold my car D  
For a greatful dead ticket
and my Emdad yelled at me     
and he grounded meC  
and he said I was a dick It was the worst day of my lGife 
and ill never forgeDt it 
but the vEmery next day 
I was doing bong hits in the bCack of my friends chevete
so don't tell mGe we're wiDnning the war on drugs 
cause drEmugs are like a big old can of Raid and Cyou're all little bugs 
and dGon't tell me to not get hiDgh 
cause im as Emlow as i can get without kissing your ass and Cblowing you at the same time 
[CHORUS] 
Gman don't tell me about lDove and peace 
when Emone of the Jones' has a Chand gun pointing at Gme 
dont tell me to "JDust say no" 
am an Emaddict, I say no to Clet me go

Dbut they couldn't explain

but Cwhat i wanna do is piss down their throats 
[chorus]
Gman don't tell me about lDove and peace 
when Emone of the Jones' has a Chand gun pointing at Gme

Chords in this song · guitar

It was long ago

seems like a dream

the day I sucked the air

from a bottle of whipped cream

and I got real high

D Em

and things got real slow

and I started talking like this

whats going on? I don't know

G D

and then I sold my car

For a greatful dead ticket

and my dad yelled at me

and he grounded me

and he said I was a dick It was the worst day of my life

and ill never forget it

but the very next day

I was doing bong hits in the back of my friends chevete

G D

so don't tell me we're winning the war on drugs

Em C

cause drugs are like a big old can of Raid and you're all little bugs

G D

and don't tell me to not get high

Em C

cause im as low as i can get without kissing your ass and blowing you at the same time

[CHORUS]

G D

man don't tell me about love and peace

Em C G

when one of the Jones' has a hand gun pointing at me

dont tell me to "Just say no"

Em C

am an addict, I say no to let me go

G D

whatever happened to sex drugs and rock and roll?

Em C G

now we just have aids, crack and techno

G G C C

so they busted me!

I said I say, fuck them up for selling dope

and i went to jail and I wasn't forgiven

like that little fucker who shot the pope and said

I have the right to remain silent

but they couldn't explain

how i didn't exist no I wasnt violent

cause all i ever wanted is the right to remain

G D

and then they questioned me, yeah they asked me

why?

and I said I don't think I should be shot for selling pot

this is my little way of saying...

G D

high, and now my record is all fucked up

and im not allowed to vote

and two times a week they make me piss in a cup

but what i wanna do is piss down their throats

[chorus]

G D

man don't tell me about love and peace

Em C G

when one of the Jones' has a hand gun pointing at me

dont tell me to just say no

Em C

im an addict, I say no to let me go

G D

whatever happened to sex drugs and rock and roll?

Em C G

now we just have aids, crack and techno.
