  • Jefferson Airplane Mexico Lyrics

           

    by Grace Slick

    Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
    Come to the Poet's Room
    Talking about the problems of the leaf,
    And yes, it'll be back soon

    There used to be tons of gold and green
    Comin' up here from Mexico
    A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
    [The translation is: "Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun."]

    But Mexico is under the thumb
    Of a man we call Richard
    And he's come to call himself king
    But he's a small-headed man
    And he doesn't know a thing
    About how to deal for you

    How to deal for you
    There are millions of you now
    I mean it's not as if you were alone
    There are brothers everywhere
    Just waiting for a toke on that gold
    And God knows how far it can go

    But thanks Uncle Charlie
    For your Mexican smoke
    You're a legend Owsley
    For your righteous dope

    There were a half a million people on the lawn
    And we sang to the faces in the dark
    How long must that damn race
    Wait for the jailer's time to end?
    How long must the Panther race
    Wait for the iron bars to bend?
    And no no no no no nobody waits
