AMERICAN PIPE (sung to the tune of American Pie)

Long, long time ago

I can still remember when an ounce of grass was only 30 bucks

And I knew if I had my way

I'd change the drug laws of today

Because the way things are it really su u u ucks

The legislation makes me shiver

Every paper they'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When late that night, I went outside

But something touched me deep inside

The day.............my hemp plant died

CHORUS

So bye bye to a buzz or a high,

Drove my kombi to my dealer but my dealer was dry

I could have a port or two a whisky or rye

Oh but that'll be the day that i die

That'll be the day that i die

So who wrote this book of laws

The same stuffed shirts who start our wars

The army and the government

Now do you believe in human worth

Do you have plans to save our earth

Are you prepared to stand and give your testament

Well I know that this is hard to do

But surely there must be a few

If we all got up to dance

Well.........maybe there's a chance

And if all of us can take the field

The government will have to yield

I chose to help the earth be healed

The day..........my hemp plant died

CHORUS

So, bye bye to a buzz or a high..................

Now for many years we've fought this cause

To try and change these crazy laws

'Cos that's not how it used to be

When a woman's time came on our queen

She'd have a pipe of powdered green

Or a cup, of marijuana tea

Oh and when the peace pipe passed around

Inside the bowl was to be found

Both Cherokee and Sioux

Smoked marijuana too

And when Jesus Christ his meal would share

The twelve disciples all were there

A bowl of green herbs on the fare

And still, my hemp plant died

CHORUS

So bye bye to a buzz or a high...........

(the slow down bit or ritard)

I met a man, who smoked a bhong

And I asked him what he thought was wrong

But he just smiled and turned away

I went down to the Murray's shore (big river in oz) site of hippy reunions)

Where I'd smoked with people years before

But the man there said the people couldn't play

In the streets the children screamed

The loves cried and the smokers dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The bhongs had all been broken

And the rebels bold who still were free

N.O.R.M.L, H.E.M.P, and D. T. E (three well known law reform groups)

Had all gone fishing in the sea

The day..............my hemp plant died

And they were singin'

Bye bye to a buzz or a high

Drove my kombi to my dealer

But my dealer was dry

I could have a port or two a whisky and rye

Ah but that'll be the day that i die,

That'll be the day that I die.

P.S. There's more here if you want to have a look, cheers Hippy
