re: #3 Learned Mother of Zion

When I was in high school (way back when the Monkees had their own hit TV show), our class put on an “anti-drug” skit for a school assembly. We played a bunch of stoners singing this little song:

Everywhere we go
And everyone we see
Is smokin’ weed
And droppin’ LSD!

Hey hey we’re the Junkees!
The fed try and give us the bust
But we’re havin’ too much fun trippin’
To worry ‘bout the cops gettin’ us!

Of course the purpose of the assembly was to portray the “Junkees” as losers, dropouts, unpopular, ugly, zitpocked kids, while the cool, popular, college-going athletic beautiful kids were drug free.

Yeah right.

Of course, my friends and I had our own version

Here we come,
Shootin up some speed,
Can’t stop from taking,
All the drugs we need!

Hey hey we’re the Junkees,
and people say our veins are too dark,
but we’re too busy singing,
to cover our tracks marks.
