Hello mister officer, and how are you this evening
You say that you're smelling something, that you don't find very pleasing
Could it be, the fact that I've been smoking weed, yes indeed
Yes sir mister officer, I've got my hands behind me
Please don't use any more pepper spray, cuz that last shot was blinding
I can't see, and it's getting hard to breath, I'm in custody
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed, it's only a weed
Hello mom and dad, it seems I've got a little problem
The policeman thinks I'm dealing, and it's prison time he's talking
Could you please, call an attorney just for me, I'm in need
Hey public defender, when my case going to trial
Cause I couldn't make my bond, and I've been in jail a while
And lost my job, all for a quarter pound of pot, aint that a crock
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed, it's only a weed
BRIDGE
Prison life is really hard, but when they let us in the yard
Theres a man named bubba looking out for me
He says that I'm pretty cute, but I feel like Im being used
And theres just got to be a better way... cuz I'm not gay
Hey future employer man theres something I must tell ya
Cuz when you run all my numbers well you are gonna find my record
I did time, having marihuana is a crime,
I wish they had an open mind,
Its not a crime...
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed
Oh it's only a weed, Oh it's only a weed, it's only a weed
