Years ago they waved the green light, said go ahead and grow Told the mom-and-pop shops they could open up and show Little stores popped up on quiet little streets Then one day the rules got yanked right out from under their feet They handed it over to the alcohol board Same people selling poison now hold the sword One stays on every corner, taxed and celebrated The other gets the hammer the second it’s regulated They raise a glass to safety with a polished little grin Then outlaw the remedy that never needed spin Natural remedies, gone without a fight While the alcohol keeps flowing through the night They preach “be careful” with a shot glass in their hand Then ban the plants that heal and leave the bottles in demand Natural remedies… they’re the ones they fear ’Cause they don’t fill the coffers year after year Bars stay open late with the licenses galore Herbal shops get notices and fines at the door Small doors lock forever, dreams packed in a van “Too risky,” say the suits who never had a plan Every Friday night the same old story plays Liquid courage celebrated, natural pushed away They raise a glass to safety with a polished little grin Then outlaw the remedy that never needed spin Natural remedies, gone without a fight While the alcohol keeps flowing through the night They preach “be careful” with a shot glass in their hand Then ban the plants that heal and leave the bottles in demand Natural remedies… they’re the ones they fear ’Cause they don’t fill the coffers year after year Some leader on the news screams the plant is pure poison While his liquor cabinet’s packed with “smart decisions” They shove a doctor on camera fishing hard for fear He’s stuttering and hedging ‘cause the truth ain’t clear They ban the green that grows right out of the dirt But protect the bottle that puts people in the hurt Natural remedies, gone without a fight While the alcohol keeps flowing through the night They preach “be careful” with a shot glass in their hand Then ban the plants that heal and leave the bottles in demand Natural remedies… they’re the ones they fear ’Cause they don’t fill the coffers year after year Natural… remedies… Natural… remedies… © 2026 Zax Dezignz Distributed by United Masters All Rights Reserved.
