Lyrics
Heroin has stigma like meth and crack cocaine Drug users aren't all losers, they can't all be insane But sanity is not a trait of extraordinary man Sometimes it's drugs not necessity that't the mother of invention Ben Franklin smoked opium when he held that lightning rod So did Queen Victoria and the Marquis de Sade Sigmund Freud did his best work on coca medicine So did Grover Cleveland and Thomas Edison Would Einstein have split the atom? Would Carl Sagan have pondered space? When the smartest people are doin' drugs it makes the world a much better place Steve Jobs and Bill Gates took acid and changed technology The Beatles' trips led to Lucy, Rita, and Eleanor Rigby And all the absinthe that Van Gogh drank made made a much starier night Without drugs would Munch's scream have really been such a fight? (that's not so scary) Would Bonds have hit those hundreds of homers? Would Lance have ever won in France? When a record's breaking, an athlete's takin' A drug to keep performance enhanced So you guys are trying to tell me that if i take drugs i'm gonna be smarter? We're not saying it's gonna make you smarter, but it might make you more interesting Aaron Sorkin wrote his best while he was smokin' crack Amphetamines were the favorite means of Ayn Rand and Kerouac Charlie Dickens told the tale on opiates we know So did Burroughs, Huxley, Oscar Wilde, and Edgar Allen Poe If everyone was sober, could you call this country free? Would we maintain our ethics and ingenuity? Progressive thought doesn't happen a lot in a dry society When everyone is doin' some it makes the world a better place to be So smoke a joint, or snort a line, or drop some LSD Use a bong, a glass pipe, or go strait to an IV It's a simple case of better living in modern chemistry When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be So quit NA, and screw AA, and f*ck sobriety When everybody is doin' drugs it makes the world a better place to be
