‘St. Maryjane’

Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jew
The hell religion puts us through
Murdering in the name of God
Is more than just a little odd

One religion commits no crime
And you can worship anytime
No statues just some sticky weed
Rolling paper is all you need

Instead of prayer you take a toke
The answers show up in the smoke
It fills our heads with peace and love
Not words of war from up above

They say communion wine is blood
Commune with nature, burn a bud
St. Maryjane, you are superb
Baptize the world with your sweet herb
