keyboards, accoustic guitar and vocals: KGS/ lead guitar: Jeff Hoff

This is the drug war from its beginnings through present time.
The numbers represent the yearly arrests of marijuana users alone
as they have grown from George H. W. Bush through George W. Bush.

Religious seperation.
Moral obligation.
Divine destination.
Forceful abstination.

Chorus:
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Three hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Three hundred thousand each 365!

God's holy creations.
Mankind's medication.
Big money vindication.
All out annihilation.

Chorus:
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Four hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Four hundred thousand each 365!

U.S.A. co-operation.
Human rights violations.
Corruption in the stations.
And the peoples' subjugation.

Chorus:
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Five hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Five hundred thousand each 365!

Bridge:
It's the same ol' prohibition.
The Partnership and Coalition.
Not even those with AIDS and cancer.
Tell me how the hell is prison the answer!

Third world eradication.
CIA infiltration.
Oppress the population.
Organized crime's escalation.

Chorus:
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Six hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Six hundred thousand each 365!

Now we've got killers on probation.
Now we've got war upon the nation.
Nature's adulteration.
And the future's degradation!

Chorus:
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Seven hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives before you open your eyes?
Seven hundred thousand each 365!
How many lives?
How many lives?
Don't throw me in jail!
Don't throw me in jail!
Don't throw me in jail!
How many lives?
