Don't Step On The Grass, Sam - John Kay
Recorded by Steppenwolf 1968 The Second album
Starin' at the boob tube
turning on the big nob
trying to find life in the wasteland.
Finally found a program
gonna do with mary jane
ready for a trip into Haight-land.

Nazi Joe comes on the scene
along with his friend self-rightous Sam
and one more guy who doesn't count
(his head and clothes are too far out.)
While pushin' back his glasses
Sam is saying casually:
"I was elected by the masses."
And with that in mind
he starts to unwind
a vicious attack on the finest of grasses.

Harry Anslinger - the original "Sam"
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty.
Don't step on the grass, Sam.
And it will ruin our fair country.
Don't be such an ass, Sam.
It will hook your Sue and Johnny.
Your so full of bull, Sam.
All will pay that disagree with me.
Please give up; you've already lost the fight alright.

This information Sam and Joe
are feeding to the nation.
But the one that didn't count
counted'em out
by exposing all their false quotations.
I'll trace my very awkward situation.
This is all he'd say to save the day:

It's evil, wicked, mean and nasty.
Don't step on the grass, Sam.
And it will ruin our fair country.
Don't be such an ass, Sam.
It will hook your Sue and Johnny.
Your so full of bull, Sam.
All will pay who disagree with me.
Please give up; you've already lost the fight alright.

You waste my coin, Sam, all you can
to jail my fellow man.
For smokin' of the noble weed
you need much more than hemp.
You've been telling lies so long
some believe they're true
so they close their eyes to things
you have no right to do.
Just as soon as you are gone
hope will start to climb.
Please don't stay around too long
your wasting precious time.

Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty.
Don't step on the grass, Sam.
And it will ruin our fair country.
Don't be such an ass, Sam.
It will hook your Sue and Johnny.
Your so full of bull, Sam.
All will pay who disagree with me.
Please give up; you've already lost the fight alright.
