VERSE 1: The Swat Team's back and you're gonna be sorry
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
They're coming down the street in a ten-ton lorry
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
CHORUS: Yeah, the Swat Team's back
They've reconnoitered in your cul-de-sac
Yeah, they're gonna pound your door
And tell you to get down on the blank blank floor
VERSE 2: The Swat Team's back and they're locked and loaded
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
The U.S. constitution has just exploded
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
CHORUS: Yeah, you better hide your vegetation
Or there's gonna be a confrontation
Mother Nature's illegal, you see
So much for living in the land of the free
VERSE 3: The Swat Team's back and they've shot your mother
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
They're coming back around to eliminate your brother
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
CHORUS: Yeah, you better hide your new prescription
Or they're gonna have a fit conniption
Replace them with your bottle of meds
So they can pass muster with the braindead feds
VERSE 4: Hey, hey, the Swat Team's here and you better face it
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
Gonna decorate your leg with an ankle bracelet
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
CHORUS: Yeah, the Swat Team's ready
They're gonna shoot ya, Freddy
If you stand up for your right to heal
They're gonna charge you with intent to deal
VERSE 5: The Swat Team's back, better hide your plants
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
They're swarming up your driveway like fire ants
Hey, hey, hey, hey, the Swat Team's back
CHORUS: Yeah, the Swat Team's back
They've reconnoitered in your cul-de-sac
Yeah, they're gonna pound your door
And tell you to get down on the blank blank floor
Yeah, you better hide your vegetation
Or there's gonna be a confrontation
Mother Nature's illegal, you see
So much for living in the land of the free
Drug war pundits need to stop using the word "snorts" when it comes to cocaine. We "take" our "meds," and yet we "snort" cocaine, just like a pig. That is NOT neutral language, folks!
Yeah. That's why it's so pretentious and presumptuous of People magazine to "fight for justice" on behalf of Matthew Perry, as if Perry would have wanted that.
William James claimed that his constitution prevented him from having mystical experiences. The fact is that no one is prevented from having mystical experiences provided that they are willing to use psychoactive substances wisely to attain that end.
I never said that getting off SSRIs should be done without supervision. If you're on Twitter for medical advice, you're in the wrong place.
Drug prohibition is a crime against humanity. It is the outlawing of our right to take care of our own health.
A Pennsylvanian politician now wants the US Army to "fight fentanyl." The guy is anthropomorphizing a damn drug! No wonder pols don't want to spend money on education, because any educated country would laugh a superstitious guy like that right out of public office.
Materialist puritans do not want to create any drug that elates. So they go on a fool's errand to find reductionist cures for "depression itself," as if the vast array of human sadness could (or should) be treated with a one-size-fits-all readjustment of brain chemicals.
Someone tweeted that fears about a Christian Science theocracy are "baseless." Tell that to my uncle who was lobotomized because they outlawed meds that could cheer him up -- tell that to myself, a chronic depressive who could be cheered up in an instant with outlawed meds.
When psychiatrists write about heroin, they characterize dependency as enslavement. When they write about antidepressants, they characterize dependency as a medical duty.
Getting off some drugs could actually be fun and instructive, by using a variety of other drugs to keep one's mind off the withdrawal process. But America believes that getting off a drug should be a big moral battle.
