Up with Hope (Down with Dope) |
| I have know this preacherman |
| For a long time, he was a good man |
| I have known this judge |
| For a long time, he was a good man |
| I have known this teacher |
| For a long time, he was a good man too |
| But because of the drugs |
| They’ve been taking secretly |
| Them are in loony houses today |
| We cannot stand aside and look |
| While the nation is going down the drain (x2) |
| Up with hope, down with dope (x3) |
| We cannot stand aside and look |
| While the nation is going down the drain |
| We really, really cannot stand aside and look while the nation is going down |
| the drain |
| Oh Yo |
| I am telling you now |
| Cocaine, no good for you |
| Liquor, no good for you |
| You go sniffling them glue |
| No good for you |
| They give it to you and say it’s the sense of knowledge |
| But I known I’ve been around |
| For a while |
| I cannot stand aside |
| And look while the nation (x2) |
| Is going down the drain |
| Oh yo yo yo |
| Chorus till fade: |
| Up with hope, down with dope |
