LIGHTEN UP lyrics

Walking down the street on my own
Midnight half a mile from home
These freaky people passing by
I said Hey man, what you smoking to get high?

CHORUS
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can light one up
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can legally light one up
Lighten up, come on lighten up

Too many smokers locked in jail
This war on drugs already failed
They’re even smoking joints in the joint
Might as well legalise it what’s the point

CHORUS
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can light one up
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can legally light one up
Lighten up, come on lighten up

Coppers in their choppers flying round
Looking for the green stuff on the ground
Burning our tax dollars what a waste
Even the lawyers like a little taste

CHORUS
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can light one up
Lighten up on the lighter stuff so I can legally light one up
Lighten up, come on lighten up
