Lyrics

Open your eyes, you'll get a surprise, evil is sweeping
The nation
It's killing your sons and what merely stuns is
Your daughters are out for sensation
When they turn on their morals are gone
They don't really know what they're doing
It's a teenage malaise, a dangerous craze
Leading their bodies to ruin
Reefer madness has stolen all their souls
Reefer madness is right out of control
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll

Marijuana monster is stalking the streets
He knows what he's up to, he knows what he eats
He gobbles your body and spits out your mind
If you don't believe it then you must be blind
Reefer madness has stolen all their souls
Reefer madness is right out of control
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll

Marijuana's real enough
Marijuana's real enough
Marijuana's real enough

One night I was smoking dope, when I looked at
My hand, and I saw that I had eleven fingers
One of these fingers fell from my hand
Onto the carpet, crawled across the floor
Up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank and stole
My stash, stole my stash
Reefer madness has stolen their souls
Reefer madness is right out of control
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
