how luckless can one band be
they're picked up for LSD
and the hippies all said
"why do they pick on the dead ?"

their room was completely jacked
the drugs were all placed in stacks
and the papers said quote
"looks like the cops got their goats"

these heads ain't...grinnin
won't be no justice, they're...winnin'
and its just the be...ginnin'
this trial is gonna be pitiful

"orange sunshine's the stuff they spread"
that's just what the sheriff said
"they're all sick...that's why we pick...on the dead"

and the hippies all said..."why do they pick on the dead?"

and the papers said quote..."looks like the cops got their goats"

their heads are...spinnin'
look at the charges, they're...pinnin'
and this is just the be...ginnin'
their lives are gonna be horrible

and so off to jail, they're led
they ain't got no bail-out bread
and they'll be in there forever...if charges stick
its just sick
oh, why do they pick ?
nasty trick
why do they pick...on the dead ?
