Start Jamming...
[G#m] [D#] [E] [C#]
[G#m] Heroin [D#] has stigma [E] like meth and crack [Em] cocaine.
[B] Drug [G] users aren't all [G#m] losers, they can't all [C#] be insane.
[B]
But [F#] sanity [G#m] is [E] not a trait [B] of [F#] [G#m] extraordinary men.
Sometimes [G#] it's [C#] drugs, not necessity.
That's the [D#m] mother [Em] of [Fm] [F#] invention.
[B] Ben Franklin smoked [C#] opium when he held that lightning rod.
[E] So did Queen Victoria [F#]
and the Marquis de Sade.
[B] Sigmund Freud did his [C#] best work on coca medicine.
[E] So did Grover Cleveland [F#]
and Thomas [B] Edison.
[G#m] When Einstein [D#] and Splinter Adam, [B] when Carl Sagan [C#] have pondered space.
[B] When the smartest [F#] people are doing [E] drugs, it makes the world a much [B] better place.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates took [C#] acid and changed [G#m] technology.
[E] The Beatles trips led to Lucy, [F#] Rita, and Eleanor [A#] Rigby.
[B] The absinthe that Van Gogh [C#] drank made a mustard real [E] nice.
Without drugs, we would munch and [F#] scream, have really [B] bad sodium fight.
That's not true.
[G#m] We're trying to be [D#] the scientists of commerce.
[B]
We're less of [C#] everyone in prayer.
[B] When a record's [F#] breaking, an athlete's [E] taking [B] a drug to keep performance enhanced.
So you guys are trying to tell me that if I take drugs, I'm going to be smarter?
We're not saying it's going to make you smarter, but it might make you more interesting.
Aaron Sorkin wrote it [C#] best while he was smoking [G#m] [E] crack.
Amphetamines were the favorite [F#] means of Aaron and [C#] Carowack.
[B] Charlie Dickens told the [C#] tale on opiates we know.
[E] So did Burroughs, Huxley, Oscar [F#] Wilde, and Edgar [B] Allan Poe.
[G#m] If [B] everyone was sober, [C#] could you call this country free?
[G#m] Would we [B] maintain our ethics [C#] and [D#] ingenuity?
[E] Progressive [F#] thought doesn't happen a [B] lot in [F#] a dry [G#m] society.
[F#] [E] When [F#] everyone is doing [E] some, it makes [F#] the world a better [B] place to be.
So smoke a joint or snort a [C#] line or drop some [G#m] LSD.
[E]
Use a bomb, a glass [F#] pipe, or go straight to an IV.
[B] It's a simple [F#] case of better [G#m] living [F#] through modern [E] chemistry.
[B] When [F#] everybody is doing [E] drugs, it makes [F#] the world a better [B] place to be.
When [F#] everybody is doing [E] drugs, it makes [F#] the world a better [B] place to [G#m] be.
So quit [A#m] AA, and school [G#m] AA, and fuck [C#] sobriety.
[B] When [F#] everybody is doing [E] drugs, it makes [D#m] the world a better [B] place to be.
