Lyrics

VERSE 1: IT ALL STARTED WITH A BOSSA JAM AFTER THE BIG TORNADO/ I SAID "YOU PLAY FUNK MY MAN, I'LL BE YOUR LATIN AMIGO"/ NOW HE TRIES TO SPANK HIS GIRLFRIEND WHILE THEY PRACTICE AIKIDO/ ROLLS THE DOOBIE WITH A CHEECH AND CHONG RECORD SLEEVE, IT LOOKA LIKE A BURRITO
CHORUS:
DOES HE SMOKE WEED IN HIS GI/ SURE KNOWS HOW TO PACK A TRUNK/ YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE FRISBEE/ IT'S DAVE'S SOCIETY OF FUNK

VERSE 2:
HE'S BEEN THE RIGHT HAND MAN THROUGH ALL INCARNATIONS/ LIKES TO LEAVE IT ON NPR, WHILE I FRANTICALLY FLIP THE STATIONS/ MIGHT SEE IT AS DAY AND NIGHT, BUT THAT'S A FALSE DIFFERENTIATION/ TRY TO RISE ABOVE THIS DUALITY, NOW THAT'S SALVATION

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3:
YOU FINALLY SEE THE LIGHT, LIKE EYE SURGERY WITH LASERS/ STRAIGHT, NO CHASER, IT'S A RACISM ERASER/ A PARADISE OF PULSE, ONE DAY WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN/ BRAVE THIS MIST OF PESTS, THESE PESSIMISTS- WE'RE NOT THE MADMEN

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4:
(REPRISE VS.1)

ENDING CHORUS:
DOES HE SMOKE WEED IN HIS GI/ SURE KNOWS HOW TO PACK A TRUNK/ YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE FRISBEE/ IT'S DAVE'S SOCIETY/ DOES HE SMOKE WEED IN HIS GI/ DRIVES YOU HOME WHEN YOUR DRUNK/ YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE FRISBEE IT'S DAVE'S SOCIETY OF FUNK
