Commentary: Some musicians like to portray drug abuse as glamorous; God help them & anyone who buys into their lies. A degree of social responsibility, social consciousness is one of the many things to like about ska music & ska musicians.
"Calling all mothers and fathers:
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they're on corners
Finding ways to cure their boredom,
I'm sitting right there with them,
Waiting on those prescriptions,
Like it's our only mission.
"Silver flasks and Ziploc bags,
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands,
Cut in thirds then cut in half,
Money to monsters, exchanging hands…
"Calling all mothers and fathers:
Come get your sons and daughters.
Right now they're feeling awkward,
Pills and powders in their lockers,
I'm standing right there with them,
Waiting on the voice of reason,
Glass pipes, and tunnel vision…
"Silver flasks and Ziploc bags,
Vacant eyes and sweaty hands,
Cut in thirds then cut in half,
Giving money to monsters, money to monsters,
Giving money to monsters, money to monsters,
Giving money to monsters, summoning monsters."
Just Say No.
