Lyrics

Lickin' the gun lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the fun finger lickin' fun

Senator husband going for broke
I've gotta prove I'm not a joke
We smoked the stuff in '69
Now it's different. it's a crime
Kid's today don't understand. kid's today need a guiding hand
Put a sticker if it rymes with truck
When the law should slide, guess I'll duck

[Chorus:]

Watch religion come and go. watch corruption on their shows
Buy your silence, money for blood
Out of the ark and into the flood
Crasy men with russian guns. my words never killed anyone
Kissing baby's. lickin' the gun
Ain't political. just having fun

[Chorus:]

Eat it up lay down and die. they'll shoot you up
And they don't know why
Their doing a job and they enjoy it too
Their protecting us from me and you
We smoked the stuff in '69
Now it's different. it's a crime
I don't care to wait and see
If I'm cool enough to make history

[Chorus:]
