Jack on Fire, D.C.’s watchdog for all things wack (catcallers, the NSA, the Brixton), thinks he just needs to mellow out a bit.
The band’s latest track, “Andy Harris Needs to Smoke Some Weed,” released in the wake of Harris’ anti-pot provision tacked on to a major government funding bill, asks the congressman to try a bit of local green before making any rash moves against the marijuana legalization initiative D.C. voters overwhelmingly supported last month.
After taking a healthy bong rip, Jack launches into a series of dopey couplets, getting in a shot at Harris’ district before trailing off for another toke. Stream the track and read the lyrics after the jump, then give Harris a call at (202) 225-5311 or visit him at 1533 Longworth House Office Building to tell him to quit bogarting our self-determination.
Andy Harris needs to smoke some weed Put down the pen, man, a joint’s what you need The way you meddle with D.C. really harshes our mellow And makes your belly look more than a little yellow
I know black voters scare you to death And your constituents largely prefer meth But just listen to this: my advice in this song? Let us run our biz and have a hit of this bong
Some further points in this second verse Ah whatever, I’m stoned. There’s no second verse.
Don't go away!
