My Congressman

歌詞

My congressman says I cant give my brother a clean syringe If he should get aids and die, that's just too bad My senator says I can't give my sister a clean syringe If she should get hepititis and die, that's just too bad My president says I cant give my brother a clean syringe If he should get hepititis and die, that's just too bad The policeman says I cant give my sister a clean syringe If she should get aids and die, that's just too bad My county superviser likes to think he's so much wiser Than all the doctors put together Who say we should give away clean syringes My city councilman says it's not a problem We're only gonna spend millions on treatment won't work For people who will die My community likes to claim immunity on the basis of homophobia And a lack of medical fact Hey america there's needle users sleeping with your children With your daughters, with your sons and with your husbands. We got a law, says you can't own a needle. Without a presciption Do you think that ever kept anyone from shooting up? All the politicians say, we cant legalize exchange Because that would be sending the wrong message But did you ever notice, On every billboard, in every magazine, in every corner store, on every tv screen. The message is "buy cigarettes and alcohol" Don't you know drugs are everywhere , you can't stop it Criminalize it, make it profitable, ensure its longevity Don't you know drugs are everywhere, you can't stop it It's not a law enforcement issue, Addiction's a disease If you find your self in the position of having to share a needle with another person, Take the steps to ensure that you don't get infected. Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. That's step one Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. That's step two Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. Suck water up to the top of the needle, and squirt it out. That's step three, you're done We got a law, says you can't own a needle. Without a presciption Do you think that ever kept anyone from shooting up? All the politicians say, we cant legalize exchange Because that would be sending the wrong message But did you ever notice, On every billboard, in every magazine, in every corner store, on every tv screen. The message is "buy cigarettes and alcohol" Don't you know drugs are everywhere, you can't stop it Criminalize it, make it profitable, ensure its longevity Don't you know drugs are everywhere , you can't stop it It's not a law enforcement issue, Addiction's a disease My congressman says I can't give my brother a clean syringe If he should get aids and die, that's just too bad My senator says I cant give my sister a clean syringe If she should get hepititis and die, that's just too bad My president says I cant give my brother a clean syringe If he should get hepititis and die, that's just too bad The policeman says I can't give my sister a clean syringe If she should get aids and die, that's just too bad My county superviser likes to think he's so much wiser Than all the doctors put together Who say we should give away clean syringes My city councilman say's it's not a problem Were only gonna spend millions on treatment won't work For people who will die My community likes to claim immunity on the basis of homophobia And a lack of medical fact Hey america there's needle users sleeping with your children With your daughters, with your sons and with your husbands.
