If there's a type with a mind and a (Reason to grow) And changing laws for the times, tell me (How do you know) That being laid back and gentle is a crime? But the chap in the seat cries, "Total control!" And now the rats in the street won't leave me alone I wanna cut my weed, I wanna sit down beside 'em I wanna roll 'em up a miler, put a cut on the tiger 'Cause nothing's gonna stop (How do you know?)
