The "Just Say NO" campaign dimly viewed through druggies' eyes

JUST SAY, “YO!”
We are the burnt toast generation;
We’re gonna bring down our whole nation;
Go on a permanent vacation,
Thanks to some chemical persuasion.
Wanna live out in the great unknown,
Eternally blitzed, hammered, and stoned.
Eternally blitzed, hammered, and stoned.
We are the burnt toast generation;
We’re gonna bring down our whole nation;
Go on a permanent vacation,
Thanks to some chemical persuasion.
Don’t wanna get ahead,
Don’t wanna say, “No!”
Just wanna wake up dead,
So we just say, “Yo!”
Don’t need to learn to read and write well;
Real life starts after the last school bell.
Being stupid’s a status symbol;
We carry our thoughts in a thimble.
Got a dictionary of curses
And rolling papers in our purses.
Don’t wanna get ahead,
Don’t wanna say, “No!”
Just wanna wake up dead,
So we just say, “Yo!”
Just wanna feed our head
And score some more dope;
Killing our dreams instead
Of living on hope.
Don’t wanna get ahead,
Don’t wanna say, “No!”
Just wanna wake up dead,
So we just say, “Yo!”
Other countries laugh and pass us by;
We don’t care – we just wanna get high.
Don’t wanna be young and prosperous;
Wanna wreck what the Lord gave to us.
We don’t want what our parents tasted;
Just wanna be deaf, dumb, and wasted.
Just wanna be deaf, dumb, and wasted.
Just wanna be deaf, dumb, and wasted.
Don’t wanna get ahead,
Don’t wanna say, “No!”
Just wanna wake up dead,
So we just say, “Yo!”
Just wanna feed our head
And score some more dope;
Killing our dreams instead
Of living on hope.
Just wanna feed our head
And score some more blow;
Sink into our death bed,
Watch the poppies grow.
Don’t wanna get ahead,
Don’t wanna say, “No!”
Just wanna wake up dead,
So we just say, “Yo!”
