Hemp has been used
by humans for over 10,000 years
Today it could replace the timber, cotton and petrochemical industries
Paper - hemp's better than trees
The fibres are stronger and it grows like a weed
Food - you can eat the seeds
Second only to soybeans in nutritional needs
Clothing - hemp's the way
Cotton uses half of all pesticide spray
Hemp hardly needs any

Oil - hemp seed is fantastic
For burning and cooking, diesel or plastic
Ethanol - it's the cleanest fuel
It's made from plants, end OPEC's rule
"ethanol could replace all of our transport fuel needs"
Medicine - it eases migraines
Glaucoma, anxiety, and period pains
Packaging - hemp can do it all
It biodegrades and it's edible
Hemp's got what it
takes, so stop putting on the brakes
Hemp has the solution, to cleaning up pollution
We'd all be having a good time, if hemp wasn't such a bad crime
Hemp has got the answer, so jump out of your pants-ah!

1937 - Du Pont patents a process of making paper from
trees, and nylon and plastics from oil and coal.
Meanwhile machines had just been invented that simplified the process of
making paper from hemp, which was on the verge of becoming a billion dollar
industry.
William Randolph Hearst owner of Americas largest media empire of the day,
also owned vast areas of timberland.
He began running stories linking marijuana with violent crime, and the
1938 film, "Reefer Madness".
This campaign led to marijuana being made illegal.
The congressmen who passed the bill didn't realise marijuana and hemp were
the same plant.

Firewood, diesel and ethanol, Plastic bags, bottles, buckets and blow-up dolls
(All men want is) Pussy yeah

We hate the government, but we like the dole
We hate Myers, but we shop at Coles
Boycott McDonalds, the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks
Save the wildlife, have you fed the cats?
‘Cause we’re the fun, funny, funky, feral freakshow
Say no to plastic bags, we use styrofoam
Cancel third world debt, but can you give me a loan?
Fuck the police, but only if they’re cute
Is that a gun in your pocket, or you looking for a root?
‘Cause we’re the fun-filled, free-lovin’, feral freakshow
Save the trees, that’s our caper
But our protest flyers are printed on Reflex paper
Subvert the dominant paradigm, what does that mean?
Shoot John Howard, and grope the queen
‘Cause we’re the fun-filled, free-lovin’, feral freakshow
Religion’s a pain in the arse, especially for the altar boy
We’re vegetarian, but I eat your meat
I like beef curtains, he only gets them as a treat
Stop testing on animals, try using junkies
They like the needles, and they’re cheaper than monkeys
‘Cause we’re the fun, funny, funky feral freakshow
