It's not Us or Them
You know, that group
That nation, that country

The national security threat
Is everywhere on every block
Offered at a small price
With a large cost

Hurting souls, scared kids
Domestic Violence, divorce
Theft, crimes ranging to death

What about HIV
And full blown AIDS
Hep C and Flesh Disease
Each day new cases of these

Drugs distroying this nation
One person, family, neighborhood
At a time
Right here in the Great USA
People are dying every day

When are we going to get real
And realy do something to deal
With what killing our countries pride
I'm tired of everyone just wanting to hide it

It's clear to me that
The war on drugs is a joke
I know the cops are doing what they can
But its got to come from a higher command

If another country was causing
Such death as drugs
At least the ones we detect
Every man, women and child
Would sign up to Honor, Serve and Protect

Yet it's happening right now
But shameful somehow
So lets keep it all under the rug
And only fight this war with
Hugs not Drugs

           Thank You
