unintended consequenses
Way down in Colombia
Where Cocaine comes from,
A peace deal was made
With the rebels living in the forest
Growing cocaine to raise money
Now the cocaine farmers
to get them to stop growing cocaine,
were promised a paycheck
simply if they stopped
growing cocaine.
Well, to get your paycheck,
you had to be growing cocaine
in the first place.
Cabbage farmers? no free money
Arugula? nope.
Corn? no no no no no.
Seeing as they wanted to qualify for a free paycheck,
everybody switched to growing
COCAINE
This oversupply has made cocaine
the cheapest and most readily available
drug,
all because some government somewhere
came up with a wise idea on how to
stop cocaine.
Oh well
