Saturday night in a cold jail cell,
Just ask my momma I’m goin straight to hell,
Turns out an honest puff with a dishonest drunk,
Buys a cold steel cot and a taxi with cuff,
Well I ain’t scared of no American jail,
but your bible belt chains got me mad as hell,
to your Judas laws; a finger and a fist,
Well you’ve taught me well,
The stupid shall be punished.
You know my life don’t hurt a thing, cept maybe your pride,
so you if you don’t like my crowd feel free to wait outside,
I’m more Christian with a joint than a bottle of Jack,
Still you’ll sell that with a smile and a moral tax,
Don’t seem like Willie, Cheech, Bush or Obama,
Ruined their whole lives smokin marijuana,
So won’t you please come down from your uppity tower,
This ain’t reefer madness baby, it’s just flower power,
And to your Judas laws, a finger and a fist,
Yeah you taught me well,
The stupid shall be punished.
Oh you’re just doing your job? you don’t write the law,
Well catch killers and thieves, not drunks in a bar,
I swear i wanna believe you’re here to serve and protect,
But your bills are paid busting me just trying to relax,
I ain’t swervin, fightin, or cussin in church,
I’m just, tryin to unwind after a hard day’s work,
Trumped up fines and fees, straight as a pimps career,
force me you buy your bread, just to drink my beer,
You know your words ring true, on a hypocrites bell,
and there ain’t enough whiskey to sleep good in a cell,
so to your Judas laws, a finger and a fist,
Hell you’ve taught me well,
The stupid shall be punished.
