Watch and listen to this incredible song that Jacob wrote and Bree illustrated called “Strain From Another State”. It’s based on the classic Schoolhouse Rock song, but written specifically for Vicki’s 52nd birthday. Vocalist: Michaela Karr, mixing/recording: Jackson Johnson. Click the image below to watch. The lyrics are hilarious, so I listed them below so you can sing along!
Most of the people that you know,
In some of the places you can go
You can inhale and then blow
Go smoke some weed
Now weed’s a special kind of drug
It’s like it gives your brain a hug
That’s why it’s in this song we sing
Cause weed is a very helpful thing
Ohhhh, I got a strain, got a strain from another state
The prices compared to home were really great
Especially with a legal high
I feel better alread…eye
Cause I got a strain, got a strain from another state
Most of the people that you know (like your friends and family)
In some of the places you can go (which should be legal federally)
You can inhale and then blow (try and make some little O’s)
Go smoke some weed… go smoke some weed
Ohhhhh, what if pot was available down the street
Instead of you needing to travel for a week
You could smoke a hashy bone
In the comfort of your home
If Mary Jane was available down the street
A lot of people in this world (like those in pain or suffering)
If you’re a boy, NB, or girl (or whatever, we don’t assume)
Can take nugs of drugs and twirl (dance around, who cares)
And smoke some weed… go smoke some weed
Ohhhh… I got some very bad pain Tourettes
I tried some pills but it’s not better yet (I tried more than a couple)
My friend gave me a big ol joint
So I could get to the point
But sometimes I still get the pain tourettes
What if you could buy it here (instead of 700 miles away)
You could hold it near and dear (like an increasingly chubby black cat)
Stick a cig behind your ear (you’d look pretty cool I bet)
Go smoke some weed… go smoke some weed
Ohhhh… I got a dime bag from the dispensary
I shared it with my jewish family
I got the munchies had some ice cream
And went to sleep and had a dream
That weed was legalized in this country
What if you could burn some hash (it’d probably smell kinda bad)
And finally get off your ass (only to go buy more)
You shouldn’t drive or you might crash (let us go for you)
Go smoke some weed
Now weed’s a special kind of drug
It’s like it gives your brain a hug
That’s why it’s in the song we sing
Cause weed is a very special thing
