WHAT IS THE POINT
OJO 2004
Since I have been locked
into this strange room
sickness has overcome me
and I feel that the
very life in me
has drained away
this is not a place
for anyone to stay
Freedom where have you gone
I wish I could come home
this life is really
living in great pain
My journey started a
long time ago
I was just a little lost
boy without toys
and I did not meet anyone
that would be my friend
so I found out that
working in the night
was my game
I tried and tried and
failed again
but I never felt shame
and I never thought a second
about slowing down a bit
I wanted to be like
the clever bad guy on TV
and get the best things
in this world completely for free
One day I found
meaning in getting stoned
I felt inner peace and satisfaction
and I stopped doing wrong
it was like medicine for me
at least so I believed for a while
that a green plant
could save me and give a new life
People
don't you want to understand
what it can give
to lost souls just like me
Now I am locked away
because this is not
a free land
many years I have to stay
behind these walls of stone
but they are never going
to take away
my opinion that we can
do many things
under God's eyes
as long as we do them
with peace and love
Stop the Dope that kills
and let the green grass
grow free on every lawn
but I will not break
the law again
because there is no
need inside me anymore
I have learned to breathe
Since I have been locked
into this room
sickness has overcome me
but I will survive
and I will do anything
to achieve my new goals
when the time comes
and I once again am
a free man
