lyrics

Yeah the man is comin’, you better start runnin’
You’ll never understand
He’ll say that he’s your very best friend
But the man is still the man
The bastards are accusing but don’t start a-weepin’
You’re higher than a tree
You got through the past at a hell of a cost
But the future’s still for free
You got freedom of this and freedom of that
And you’ll never see the chains
The maniacal grip of uncle sam’s fist
Just doesn’t seem that strange
It’s a deal of the cards and a roll of the dice
And the dice you are disposed to
The proceeds go to the tax of your choice
Yeah the tax man truly loves you

You’re never gonna lose control
When you smoke a bowl of soul


The hangman’s noose is gonna cook your goose
The rules they rarely bend
And only then it’s for the man
You’re pissin’ in the wind
You look around at the question you found
And it makes you wonder why
The answer they say is as far away
As the stars up in the sky
Now god gave birth out of the good brown earth
To a weed to calm your mind
Smoke a little bit and man, no shit
You never know what you’ll find
You got your hands in the air like you just don’t care
You’re reachin’ for the sky
When you’re on the fence it starts to make sense
Only when you’re high

You’re never gonna lose control
When you smoke a bowl of soul
(solo)
(chorus 2x ad lib)
