Born To Be Wild
Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure and whatever comes our way
Yeah, Darlin', go make it happen, take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin', heavy metal thunder 
Racin' with the wind and the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah, I gotta go make it happen, take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high 
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure and whatever comes our way
Yeah, Darlin', go make it happen, take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high 
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Don't Step On The Grass, Sam
Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the wasteland
Finally found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hateland
Obnoxious Joe comes on a screen
Along with his guest, self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far out
While pushin' back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually
"I was elected by the masses."
And with that in mind he starts to unwind
A vicious attack on the finest of grasses

Well, it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty - don't step on the grass, Sam
And it will ruin our fair country - don't be such an ass, Sam
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny - you're so full of bull, Sam
All will pay that disagree with me
Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright

Misinformation Sam and Joe
Are feeding to the nation
But the one who didn't count counted them out
By exposing all their false quotations
Faced by a very awkward situation
This is all he'd say to save the day

Well, it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty - don't step on the grass, Sam
And it will ruin our fair country - don't be such an ass, Sam
It will hook your Sue and Johnny - you're so full of bull, Sam
All will pay that disagree with me
Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright

You waste my coin, Sam, all you can to jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed you need much more than him
You've been telling lies so long some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things you have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long, you're wasting precious time

Well, it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty - don't step on the grass, Sam
And it will ruin our fair country - don't be such an ass, Sam
It will hook your Sue and Johnny - you're so full of bull, Sam
All will pay that disagree with me
Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright

Possession of marijuana
Put your hands against the wall
And I have to remind you
There's a session going on here
Anything you may say
Get out

Hey, it's occupied

Magic Carpet Ride
I like to dream
Yes, yes - right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around
A lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me

Sookie, Sookie
Let it hang out, baby, let it hang out, now, now, na, na, na
Let it hang out, baby, everybody work out
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue

Let it hang out, baby, do the Baltimore jig
Let it hang out, baby, boomerang with me
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue

I really got it bad child, oh, drink a bottle of turpentine
When you wake up in the mornin' feelin' kinda fine
Let it hang out, baby, let it hang out, now, now, na, na, na

You better watch your step, girl, oh, don't step on that banana peel
Now, if your foot should ever hit it, you'll go up to the ceiling
Hang it in, baby, hang it in, baby
Hang it in, baby, hang it in, baby
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue

Let it hang out, baby, let it hang out, now, now, na, na, na
Let it hang out, baby, everybody work out
Hang it in, baby, hang it in, baby
Hang it in, baby, hang it in, baby
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue

The Pusher
You know, I've smoked a lot of grass, oh Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin' that my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' round with tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care, oh, if you live or if you die

God damn the pusher
God damn, hey, I say, the pusher
I said, God damn, God damn the pusher man

You know, the dealer, the dealer is a man with the love grass in his hand
Oh, but the pusher is a monster, good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel, Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Oh, but the pusher ruin your body, Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

God damn, oh, the pusher
God damn, God damn the pusher
I said, God damn, God, God damn the pusher man

Well, now, if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on the pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Then I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

God damn, oh, the pusher
God damn the pusher
I said, God damn, God damn the pusher man
