Lyrics Bush Doctor - Peter Tosh

Bush Doctor

The Surgeon General warns:
Cigarette smoking is deadly,
and dangerous, and cancerous,
a hazard to your health.
Does that mean nothing to you?
We ought to legallize the marijuana yeah!
(Ooh ooh oo-hooh!)
Down here, inna Jamaica!
Only cure for the poor man
I man ah the minister yeah
And there will be (Oh-ohh!) no more
Smoking and feeling tense
And when I see them ah come
I don’t have to jump no fence
Legalize the marijuana
Down here, inna Jamaica
Only cure for asthma
I man ah the bush doctor!
And there will be no more
Police brutality
And then no more disrespect
For humanity
Legalize the marijuana
Down here, inna Jamaica
It can build up your failing economy yeah!
Wipe out this slavish mentality yey-ey!
And there will be no more
Illegal humiliation
And then no-no more
Babylon interrogation
(Ooh ooh oo-hooh!) x4
And there will be no more
No-no more need to smoke and hide
When you know-know-know
You’re /only, only taking a ride/
Legalize the marijuana yey
Down here, inna Jamaica
It can build up your failing economy ye-eh!
Wipe out this slavish mentality yey-ey!
Legalize it!
Legalize it!
Make dem people get to smoke it!
It’s the healing, healing of the nation!
This is /a/ modern civilization!
Legalize it!
Legalize it!
Ye-heah!
