Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
Well, we’re out in the sun, feeling the breeze,
Living our lives, doing just as we please.
But they’re watching us close, like we’re breaking a rule,
'Cause we light that dope, and they call us fools.

*(Pre-Chorus)*
They don’t understand it, no they don’t even try,
Just a little smoke to open our minds.

*(Chorus)*
They’re locking us up for feeling free,
Criminals for love, it don’t make sense to me.
Oh, the world’s gone mad, don’t you see?
Chained for the green, but we just want to be.

*(Verse 2)*
They’re chasing us down, knocking at the door,
Like we’re rebels in a war we didn’t start before.
Just a little herb, and they pull out the cuffs,
But peace is the message, ain’t that enough?

*(Pre-Chorus)*
They’re blind to the truth, yeah, they cover their eyes,
While the good folks suffer for a harmless high.

*(Chorus)*
They’re locking us up for feeling free,
Criminals for love, it don’t make sense to me.
Oh, the world’s gone mad, don’t you see?
Chained for the green, but we just want to be.

*(Bridge)*
They tell us we’re wrong, they say we’re lost,
But their war on freedom comes at a cost.
It’s the ones in power who play the game,
But they’ll never understand we’re all the same.

*(Chorus)*
They’re locking us up for feeling free,
Criminals for love, it don’t make sense to me.
Oh, the world’s gone mad, don’t you see?
Chained for the green, but we just want to be.

*(Outro)*
So light it up, let’s raise our hands,
We’re standing strong, we’re making our stand.
The smoke may rise, but so will we,
'Cause the green's our right, and we’re born to be free!
