Anytime that THEY like.

"ANY TIME THAT THEY LIKE" - (Cannabis Parody: ‘In the middle of the night’ - Billy Joel)

 

Any time that they like,

They smash bottles in my street.

Spreading violence and fear,

While on others they beat.

Drug abuse is now legal,

An ever climbing cost.

And families regularly mourn,

The loved ones that they’ve lost.

 

Even though the abuse is rife

And our home gets trashed from city to shore,

To try to excuse their ‘revellers’ crimes,

Upon another’s choice they wage uncivil war.

 

In the middle of the night,

I get woken from my sleep.

By fighting and screams,

From people in too deep.

But when we all ask for something

That stops our seizures and our pain,

Politicians say ‘No!’, for there’s no personal gain.

 

I don’t know why they say ‘herb ain’t right’.

I’m sick and tired and I don’t want pain any more.

Australia’s legally going to hell,

While they deny the herb that we’ve been praying for.

 

For in the middle of the night,

People cry out in their sleep.

From arthritic pain,

When they should be counting sheep.

Others suffer from nightmares,

Seizures and disease,

While Politicians think that they can do as they please,

Any time that they like.

 

I’m not gonna take the drugs they push,

Complete with side effects, deaths and complications, man.

My medicine comes from a bush

That grows naturally in the ‘fair go’ land.

 

In the middle of the night,

Herb helps me get a good night’s sleep,

Removing nightmares and pain

And cramping in my feet.

I don’t wake up paralysed

Or with a nightmarish scream,

Because with cannabis,

I simply don’t dream!…….In the middle of the night. (In fact, all through the night).
