He was a true American champion
So why was he thrown in jail?
He helped the sick and dying
But an unjust law prevailed.
Just growing plants that heal the pain
With nothing but thanks to earn.
We the people owe him a medal
Let the verdict be overturned.
Chorus
Marijuana Hero,
There's a dragon looking for you.
In a brave new world where right is wrong
There's a dragon looking for you,
Oh, Marijuana Hero.
Federal judge misled the jury
Forbid the hero to say
That by the laws of California
It was legal all the way.
And the twelve who sat in darkness
Saw the light when it was done.
And even they said justice that day
Witnessed a total eclipse of the Sun.
Chorus
Marijuana Hero…
Bridge
Nearly a million prisoners
In a war that won't succeed.
Now's the time for leaders to follow
Where the will of the people leads.
Chorus
Marijuana Hero…
