Lyrics: 
Welcome to stoner A.D. where we're free and everybody's smoking on the good sensi
We've emerged from a hotbox to go to the dispensary to buy weed and we're feeling alright
No more smuggling, that's right
We are law abiding citizens and life is so sweet for us
Munchies are yummy
Everything is funny
After 420 I've got a hungry tummy
I need to rest
I need to lay my head
I need to put my mind in a meditative state
We've got baked edge
De-sinsemilla-tized to pipe hits
Never once have I taken a tolerance break
It used to be stoner B.C.E. where we weren't free and people had a reason to put me through their bullshit but then Justin Trudeau rolled that law up and he smoked it
We have a special place we go where winds don't blow to take the tokes
We call this place "The Elves' Grotto, where shrubs and mushrooms grow"
I need to kick back
I need to relax
I need to put my mind in a self-calming state
We're stoner punks
Psilo-psychedeli-chosis
I feel amazing because I'm always baked
It's almost 420 and I'm broke as fuck so I'm twisting filters, trying to smoke myself up
These ones didn't have as much as I thought
All good; I've got some fat ones in the pot
Let's be thankful for the luxury of being able to put the lighter in the bong and smoke up
It's not okay to miss 4:20
I have good ideas at that time
It's a res sesh at 5am in my driveway and I'm tripping out 'cause I keep seeing cop cars
Sitting in the backseat playing guitar
The sun roof is open and I can see the stars
It's a res sesh
Smash my pipe just to get to the res that's on the inside
Res sesh
Smoke a big boy res bowl
Smoke a big boy res ball
The res doesn't taste like shit when it's smoked through an apple
Kiss me with your red eyes and steeplechase face
Everybody's smoking on the tree united
The good herb's been legalized
I must carry the reggae on
I was made a king in Rastafari
I am the weed man with bloodshot eyes
I'm living fat and always smoking weed
Anar-peace-afist white-stafarian
I'll tell you a story - I was there at the summer of love projected as a spirit
I watched the bands play their songs from up above
I need to take it easy
I need to smoke weed
I need to put my mind in a meditative state
It's not Canada, it's Marijuanada 
Proceeds go to charity and the goods are baked
I need to get smoked up
I need to get fucked up
I need to take my body for an easy soul ride
It's not Cannabis, it's Canadabis
Administer the medicine and feel alright
I just need to like, chill
Like, Jesus fuck
Holy shit
Goddamn
it's not Canada, its Cannadabs
We got friends in high places like Amsterdam
I need to capture a hyperspace jester and bring it back alive to dissect
That's "Cannada" with two "n"'s
Use the herbal smoke as a religious sacrament

Lyrics:
Obviously this is not a punk rock song
I don't play punk rock anymore because it's all gone wrong due to general bad attitudes but more prominently a rise of right-wing extremism
At least that's the way it is in my local scene in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I've developed a bad case of garrison mentality and I'm a persecuted poet
In a way this song could be considered punk
Punk's politically correct and not trying to be tough
You know that already but you're still doing your time because you want attention
This song is inherently punk
It would have to be punk because new wave's a thing
Punk has a history that was already complex about thirty-five years before you came to the scene
Your ignorance is a humiliation of the fifteen years I devoted to designing a unique musical style for my band
In all that time, what have you done?
So how can you criticize me?
I don't care about whether or not this song is punk
I just want to make quality material because my education is in music and I need to create a reliable source of income
I posted my song in the group because my music structurally traces back to punk roots
You're calling me a fake punk but I didn't claim to be anything, so shut the fuck up
The way this started was I got jumped by an older punk and bitched about it to the people in the local scene
You didn't care punks jumped kids
Sent me death threats and started rumors instead
You harassed me at clubs and on the road and over the phone and on the internet
You stood outside of my house at the end of my driveway stalking me and when I came out you left
It was clear that you all saw this as a fashion and the attitude was dead
At that point I had realized that punk wasn't on the left wing anymore
They've taken it from the democrats with brutal force
They've been saying that liberal punk is dead but those are Nazi poseurs who deserve to be killed
It's not my fault that they're wrong but I can't shut them up and they're spreading fake news everywhere
But I digress; I've been staying home and spending time alone writing songs
It doesn't cross my mind anymore that they soil a good environment in this city
This song's about those bigot freaks and other jocks who ruin the punk rock scene
They think they're influencing social change by smashing bottles in the streets
Through all their rhetoric there is one thing that is obvious to me: although you claim ACAB you'd call the cops if I actually punched you because you wouldn't last a day without police
Smack you cross-eyed and stupid
Smack you rustic
Give you permanent vision damage
That's what I want to do but I can't because I'll go to jail
I remember when liberal punk was alive and people at shows were honest and kind
I had an interest at that time but that was over ten years ago
I don't think about it anymore but sometimes I listen to the music and I say to myself "Too bad it died in this city"
As soon as I walked away I started liking punk again
Countless hours of television but I'm melting into my couch watching CNN
This song's about the neo-Nazi nuisance
Especially the ones in punk rock music in Winnipeg because I've never seen so much bigotry in my life
Through all the here say there is one thing I've found so clear
And like the virgin Mary in the sky it looks down at me with a smile, giving me hope that one day these motherfuckers might get what they deserve
The anger is an energy
You're a shoo-in more now than anyone ever before, so what more can I say?
Parting thought; like it's not a miracle
We didn't get along because our ideas of punk are not the same
Close to 14000 nuclear weapons in the world, but you don't give a shit
Do you?

Lyrics:
It's 5am after a party in summer and I don't wanna end the hangout without unleashing my champ side on marijuana
If I can't then I'm lying on my bed, staring at my phone, swiping right on Tinder
Gotta make the most of now to make up for my boredom in the winter

Clouds form a cage around the sun
I got no castle, i got no crown
Look at how fast the sun goes down
I got no castle, I got no crown

It's 5am after a party in summer and I don't wanna end the hangout without unleashing my champ side on marijuana
If I can't then I'm lying on my bed, staring at my phone, swiping right on Tinder
Gotta make the most of now to make up for my boredom in the winter

The serpent spirals through the lake
I got no castle, I got no crown
Look at how fast the sun goes down
i got no castle I got no crown

Ten years old, kicked out of Mini-U
They labelled me a neo-nazi youth 'cause I had coloured hair and punk shirts
In the office they ignored me while they worked
Do you ever look around and go "hmm, gee... we're living in the 21st century"?
Do you realize the right way exists 'cause that's the way it's meant to be?

So why'd you turn into Sid Vicious?
I got no castle, I got no crown
You watched "Rockstone" in a suburban house
I got no castle, I got no crown
Mow the lawn and you can have your steak
I got no castle, I got no crown
Don't let your memories suffocate now
I got no castle, I got no crown
A storm's a-coming, I can feel it in me knee
I got no castle, I got no crown
Things piss me off when the sun is down
Now it's time to close the book
I got no castle I got no crown
The sun is out and there ain't no clouds
I got no castle I got no crown
