Some time ago, my friend sent me this song and said it reminded him of me...glad I am not that person anymore.
Lily Allen-Alfie
Ooooo deary me,
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly half past three
He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see him cos the room is so smoky,
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.
[Chorus]
Oooooo I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.
Ooooo Alfie get up it's a brand new day,
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid.
Get off your lazy arse,
Alfie please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray,
I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray,
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
[Chorus]
Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat,
And look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap.
[Chorus]
Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere

I also just recently heard a reggae song over the speakers at a hippie restaurant by a guy named Afroman, about all the things he had to do and then sings, "...but I got high!".
It also used to be me. I'd heard that song long ago and thought it was funny. But the other day it actually annoyed me. Maybe it was too close to home and I thought it was lame that he was glorifying all this waste of life. Really. I just googled it and will copy the lyrics below. If I hadn't heard it, and didn't hear the happy tones of his voice, I think just by reading it that it is a sad confession. I am really getting some distance from the weed and am really starting to get appalled at the ridiculous waste of life and brains that comes along with it. The dude must be high if he thinks its cool that he messed up his entire life.
Here's those lyrics:
It's like I don't care about nothin' man
Role another blunt, Yeah cuz
(Yeah x 2)
I was gonna clean my room, until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom, But then I got high
My room is still messed up And I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to class, before I got high
I coulda' cheated and I coulda passed, but I got high
I'm taking it next semester and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to work, but then I got high
I just got a new promotion, but I got high
Now I'm selling dope and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to court, before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support, but then I got high (No you weren't)
They took my whole pay check, and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high,
Because I got high
Because I got high
I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high, (I'm serious man)
I was gonna pull right over and stop, but I was high
Now I'm a paraplegic, and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna pay my car a note, until I got high
I wasn't gonna gamble on the boat, but then I got high
Now the tow truck's pulling away, and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high, because I got high, because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna make love to you, but then I got high, I'm serious
I was gonna eat your pussy to, but then I got high
Now i'm jacking off and I know why, (turn this shit off) 'cuz I got high, because I got high, because I got high
I messed up my entire life, because I got high
I lost my kids and wife , because I got high
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk, and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high, because I got high, because I got high
I'm gonna stop singing this song, because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong, because I'm high
And if I don't sell one copy I know why, (why man) 'cuz I'm high,
because I'm high, because I'm high
Today i go to Art school, it may not sound like much to most people, but if you knew me 14 months ago , you would see its a miracle.
Some days today i dont do much, but im doing something on those days, which is great.
I used to sing those songs thinking they were cool, but now they seem sad to me.
I used to LOVE that Afro Man song..nut again, even though the words are like "hmmm" the tune makes it funny...and it's not.
There are many other songs that talk about weed, good or bad, but that Afroman one rings particularly true.
It really led to so much unpleasantness!
