lyrics

Sitting on the porch with a bong in my hand,
Watching the helicopter land,
Amidst all the noise and confusion,
I picked up my bong and I began to run, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I’m getting stoned yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.

Well fear and people persecute me,
All I want to do is to be free.
Johnny Law lifts a rock from the ground,
Says “go tell everybody there’s a stoning in town!” Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I’m getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.

Well, I smoke the rope, I smoke the rope,
I guess I got to smoke dope ‘cause I just can’t cope.
Hell, I smoke dope ‘cause I want to get high.
I’ll take another hit, just to get by,
‘Cause the day, the pay, I’m makin’ my way,
I like getting baked, to get through the day.
So I toke, toke, and toke, and toke, it ain’t no joke,
A way of life, and I’m stinkin’ of smoke.

Take a hit off a joint and I hold my breath,
Won’t let it out ‘til there’s nothing left.
My brain explodes and my eyes bulge out,
Smokin’ that herb’s what I’m talkin’ about, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I’m getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.

Only thing I did wrong was say what I think,
You say “mister, now you stand on the brink”.
I don’t know why these people must fuss and fight,
Maybe they can’t tell the wrong from the right, no, no, no,

I’m getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.

Well, you’re sitting there, and you don’t say nothin’,
When you’re at home you’re a closet puffin’.
All you people must go out and vote,
And make it legal like tomatoes! Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I’m getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
Getting stoned, yes indeed I am.
