THE SMOKERS BLUES

Here’s a song I rewrote the other night by THE MIAMI SOUND MACHINE called SMUGGLERS BLUES. I rewrote it to be a parody song because of the cigarette tax on the poor. Now only rich people can afford to smoke. Why should they be happy? I don’t know about you but I’m tired of being ruled, lawed, regulated and taxed to death by a bunch of idiots! Let’s clean house and start over! I don’t have a copywrite on this of course. I just hope someone takes it and makes it into a record! I’d love to hear it on the radio! Everyone has my permission to use it as they see fit. Send it to your friends or post it where ever, I don’t care! Remember we over threw a government once just for taxing our tea! I don’t even like tea! I say we need to do it again! Let’s let’em know how we feel about these taxes! Off with their heads! Then lets hang’em!

Long live God and the Constitution of the United States!

THE SMOKER’S BLUES


They’ll be trouble on the street tonight
I can feel it in my bones

I had a premonition
That she should not quit alone
I knew her pack was empty
But I didn't think she'd kill
Everything exploded
And the blood began to spill

So lady, here's a new pack
Just hold it in your hand
Here's a brand new lighter
Incase you can’t quit the way you planned.

She held that pack for hours
But it was more than she could stand

eeeeeeeyeah

Well I'm sorry it went down like that
But the odds were that you’d lose
It's the nature of addiction
It's the smoker’s blues

The smokers Blues

Criminals are Politicians
With a new tax law
They rip off then they slip off
With money nobody saw

No matter what your pleasure
If you chew or puff
You’ll have to carry a weapon
When you go to buy the stuff

They’ll be lots of shady characters
With back ally tax free deals
Everyone’s a criminal
That’s how the cops will make you feel
And every court room Judge
Will rob you like no big deal
Then hide their crimes away
Behind cold hard bars of steel

Bars of steel

Perhaps you’ll understand it better
When you’re standing in those shoes
It's the ultimate addiction
It's the smoker’s blues

The smoker’s blues

You see it in the headlines
You read it every day
They say it’s gonna kill you
But they sell it anyway

They grow it on the east cost, and out near L.A.
They tax it up and sell it
Man, I mean it’s here to stay

Their propping up the government with this new tax base revenue
We all see the injustice
But there’s just nothing' we can do
Smoking is just for the very rich
And not meant for me and you

Not me and you

(shotgun pump)
Well here’s a brand new proposition
And one they can’t refuse
(shotgun blast)
It's the nature of addiction
It's the smoker’s blues
(Shotgun pump)

Smoker’s blues
Eeeeeeeyeah

1. Smuggler's Blues was written by Glen Frey and Jack Tempchin and was performed by Glen Frey.

I'm not sure where you got Miami Sound Machine from.

4. I quit smoking roughly a year ago, and I wish you luck doing the same

It sucks to have a monkey on your back. It really does.

5. My dad died a slow unhappy and debilitated death from emphysema...

and I'm sure that living in a home of 4 pack a day second hand smoke addicted me to cigarettes for ten years. QUIT! please. I did. I love you as a person (no matter who you are) too much to watch you kill yourself the way my dad did.

6. So, your cigarette tax went up and you sign up at DU to bitch about it?

8. Hey, nothing gets past you!

Wow, no one can get past the smoking or the who sings this part! I find that oddly interesting!
