Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?

Why do you think they call it dope?
Hey-yeah

Oh, dope

Nighttime, shooting stars
The sun started to rain
Trees lost branches, gurus trances
Black-brassiered dances, little dear

Showdown's comin', it's no joke
Mouth is running, it's a stroke
That's what I think when I'm so fucked up
I can't even find the door

Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)

When your heart beats fast, you're so broke
In your car with the red lights flashin'
Looks sincere, smell like beer, roach in the ashtray
Goin' to the pokey 30 days later
Ten bucks left, hands are shakin', lookin' for a dime bag

Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)

Dirty little dopers on dope, so bad
Dirty little dopers on dope, so bad
Ooh

When two and two turns into five
You'll probably see it my way
When bad is good, like it should
Things turn upside down
Some people say it's hip to say no
My town, it's green light, go

For party rockin' angel now it's trigger happy
Slang bang, how?

Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Why do you think they call it dope? (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
