about

This "joint" is meant to be a humorous yet provocative piece envisioning a world where all forms of money have become valueless because "the people took it all back; every cup has been filled." Faced with the problem of what to do with all the excess paper and metal money, the singer offers some humble suggestions :-) Lyrics below

Here's to the revolution! 👌

lyrics

Roll it Up (The First Joint After the Revolution)

We don't need money no more, that's just old ratty stuff
All we need is whatever we need, and look, there's more than enough
The people took it all back -- every cup has been filled
Now we're chillin, just having some fun, so what do we do with these worthless bills?

Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!
Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!

It's the first joint after the revolution, bless the L*rd!
Light it up, give thanks and praises -- there's so much to be thankful for
Here's a spliff for every adult, an origami crane for every kid
That's a whole lot more than a thousand -- make a wish on old Benjamin!

Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!
Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!

Melt the coins and statues of Columbus and the likes of him
Right down to their base elements and make new parts for bikes with them, and
Turn that paper into books that tell the people's stories, and
If there's still some left over there's just one more thing left to do then...

Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!
Roll it up, and smoke it away
Roll it up, smoke it away!
