I'm a heavy smoker. I go through two lighters a day.
I loved when Bush came out and said, 'We are losing the war against drugs.' You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it.
Let me tell you about gays in the military. I don't want any gay people hanging around me while I'm killing kids. I just don't want to see it.
I can speak for every guy in this room here tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now. Watching an empty stage.
We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.

I smoke to fill the potholes in my soul
I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me.
I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.
I don't do drugs anymore... than, say, the average touring funk band.
Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you.
