This song, which is currently in the possession of the D.P.D.,
was used as evidence against Mr. Hill in a court of law
to convict and sentence him to seven years in the state penitentiary.
His crime was growing twelve ounces, including stalk, roots and dirt, of marijuana.
The damning evidence was his admission that he had smoked some with his friends.

Chorus:
One of these days things are gonna be different.
One of these days things are gonna be right.
One of these days things are gonna be better.
One of these days they'll legalize.

Sittin' on my front porch rollin up some cool smoke.
All of my friends are waiting for a cool toke.
Suddenly a policeman rolls by.
Well, I grabbed my "kin" and rushed right in.
I was joined at the windows by my friends.
We watched as that piggy rolled on by.

(Chorus)

Well, I lit the spliff, and passed it around.
Had a few beers to calm things down.
When I heard a loud rap on my door!
"It's the FBI, and the DEA, and we've come here to lock you away.
"Your a dangerous man, and need to be in jail."

(Chorus)

Now I'm serving time in the pen
Just for smoking dope with my friends.
Ten years no chance of parole.
It's the land of the free, and home of the brave,
Unless of course, you smoke a jay.
Don't you think this drug war gone astray?

(Repeat Churus Twice)
