Marijuana, Assassin of Youth Songtext
von Steve Hackett

Marijuana assassin of youth
And so look now, here′s the truth
As we wish you all a perisheri Christmas
With a partridge family or two
And when you go to church
You'll remember with a smirk
All the crazy little things you used to do
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Buh-buh
Let′s have a truly Mexican welcome
For Ronnie and the Marihu
Ah, earl grey
I asked my girlfriend to marry me
Yes, I thought how happy we'd be
I knew she'd be a squirrel, at least to please


But these were the words she said to me
You need to hack up an early degree
Don′t you want to start a family?
Take a stand and make some real cash
Sell your guitar and throw away your stash
I had a headache that lasted five days
I knew that somehow there must be a way
I cleaned the car and emptied the trash
Before she got home, I had to get smashed
You need to hack up an early degree
Don′t you want to start a family?
Take a stand and make some real cash
Sell your guitar and throw away your stash
I lived on our own, formed a new band
We played every goddamn dive in the land
Must have got lucky, had a number one song
Mr. Outset, as you planned all along said
You need to hack up an early degree
Don't you want to start a family?
Take a stand and make some real cash
Sell your guitar and throw away your stash
