legalise me
oh I want the legal right to be me
only me
legalise me
bail me jail me but they’re never gonna nail me
pharmaceutically
I was sleeping like a baby in bed
when I woke up to a voice in my head
“we’re all outta rooms try down the road” is what
I said
I’m just a farmer and I grow marijuana
oh baby doll
can you tell that I like that?
oh baby doll
we’re gonna rattle your combinations
up and down
legalise me
oh I gotta gotta gotta feel free
really free
legalise me
wake me shake me if they’re going to come and take
me
make it legally
I been campaigning for the rights of the meek
I been holed up in a tree most of the week
hey sir your crush boxes are starting to leak
they’re saying “never” but we’ll wait here
forever and ever and ever and ever
oh baby doll
can you tell that I like that?
oh baby doll
we’re gonna rattle your combinations baby
up and down
and if I wanna shake my hair in the sun
don’t try to flail me for offending anyone
I don’t take prozac and I’ll never own a gun
I’m just a farmer but I swear I'd never harm her
oh baby doll
can you tell that I like that?
oh baby doll
we’re gonna rattle your combinations baby
up and down
