God damn take a look at that moon, shinin' like the devil's eye
Blood red like a bullet to the head, sendin' shivers down my spine
Shot down by the motherfucking man, and now I've done my time
I've thought a lot about the things that couldn't be thought, and I've never felt less blind
It seems as though you can't believe what you are told when it pays to tell a lie
Tax us to pave the streets in gold but arrest me when I drive
I need medicine to take away my pain
I need medicine to get me through my day
I need medicine to take away my pain
Two spliffs and a shot of rum to get me through my day
