Harry scared me
I don't even care if it's true
I know Mary wanna kill America's youth
I love to believe every lie I was told
I know that there's death
Every time that it's rolled
They've created young addicts
Ask why he beat her
Young men will say, quote
He was high from reefers
When they light it
They commit a crime against nature
Commit violence on neighbors, look here
It's right in the papers!
I'm gonna ignore any facts I'm given
I don't hear you, I don't have to listen
I've been panicked
About Hispanic migrants and
I get a bad vibe from those jazz musicians
Weed doesn't make
Things fun, all chilling
Makes you rape
Makes you murder
Dare to jump off buildings
They say it just exacerbates it
We do not accept it
No exaggeration
Weed's effects will cause depression, damn
And we've advanced to even bigger threats
Like cannabis is more cancerous
Than a cigarette
You can't convince
Stuck in my jaded view like crazy glue
F*ck your facts and what you claim is true
Gotta save the youth

Opponent against cannabis
After being appointed head of the newly
Established Federal Bureau of Narcotics
In 1937, Anslinger followed up with
An article titled
Marijuana, Assassin of Youth
This lengthy document used extreme
Misinformation to incite fear
Ultimately snowballing
From reefer madness to the war on drugs
