My congressman lyrics

Artist  : Fifteen 
Song : My congressman
 
My congressman says I cant give my brother a clean
syringe

If he should get aids and die, that's just too
bad

My senator says I can't give my sister a clean
syringe

If she should get hepititis and die, that's just
too bad

My president says I cant give my brother a clean
syringe

If he should get hepititis and die, that's just
too bad

The policeman says I cant give my sister a clean
syringe

If she should get aids and die, that's just too
bad

My county superviser likes to think he's so much
wiser

Than all the doctors put together

Who say we should give away clean syringes

My city councilman says it's not a problem

We're only gonna spend millions on treatment
won't work

For people who will die

My community likes to claim immunity on the basis
of homophobia

And a lack of medical fact

Hey america there's needle users sleeping with
your children

With your daughters, with your sons and with your
husbands.

We got a law, says you can't own a needle.

Without a presciption

Do you think that ever kept anyone from shooting
up?

All the politicians say, we cant legalize
exchange

Because that would be sending the wrong
message

But did you ever notice,

On every billboard, in every magazine, in every
corner store, on every tv screen.

The message is "buy cigarettes and alcohol"

Don't you know drugs are everywhere , you can't
stop it

Criminalize it, make it profitable, ensure its
longevity

Don't you know drugs are everywhere, you can't
stop it

It's not a law enforcement issue,

Addiction's a disease

If you find your self in the position of having
to share a needle with another person,

Take the steps to ensure that you don't get
infected.

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

That's step one

Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck bleach up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

That's step two

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

Suck water up to the top of the needle, and
squirt it out.

That's step three, you're done

We got a law, says you can't own a needle.

Without a presciption

Do you think that ever kept anyone from shooting
up?

All the politicians say, we cant legalize
exchange

Because that would be sending the wrong
message

But did you ever notice,

On every billboard, in every magazine, in every
corner store, on every tv screen.

The message is "buy cigarettes and alcohol"

Don't you know drugs are everywhere, you can't
stop it

Criminalize it, make it profitable, ensure its
longevity

Don't you know drugs are everywhere , you can't
stop it

It's not a law enforcement issue,

Addiction's a disease

My congressman says I can't give my brother a
