Over 700,000 Americans are arrested annually for marijuana charges.
According to FBI statistics, this is more than all violent crime arrests combined,
and over 35% of all arrests for all crimes committed.

Spent most of my life working hard every day.
Takin' care of my family on the coins I got paid.
Life most of my friends I got high through my years
`Til they kicked down my door and they threw me in here!

The judge and the jury took one look at me,
And they gave me ten years just for tryin' to be free!
They took away my home; took everything I owned!
Now with five hundred stangers I'm so damn alone.

Chorus:
Now I ain't seen my woman, and I can't see my child!
Still even in here I get high all the while!
So what did I do to get what they have done?
Millions of people, but you still haven't won!
Millions of people, but you still haven't won!

My little baby will be grown when I leave here!
How can I expect my woman to wait for ten long damn years?
Now I got nowhere to go; just watchin' killers come and go!
All for the crime of refusing to say no!

(Chorus)
Millions of people!
