Lyrics
Open your eyes, you'll get a surprise,
Warning to be aware and observant; an impending revelation or shock
Evil is sweeping the nation,
Reference to a pervasive malevolence affecting society
It's killing your sons and what merely stuns
The destructive force is harming sons, and daughters seek sensational experiences
Is Your daughters are out for sensation
Highlighting the pursuit of sensation by daughters, possibly in a negative context
When they turn on their morals are gone
Loss of morals when influenced by an unknown factor
They don't really know what they're doing
Lack of awareness and understanding in their actions
It's a teenage malaise, a dangerous craze
A phase of adolescent confusion and risky behavior
Leading their bodies to ruin
A warning about the perilous consequences of their actions
Reefer madness, has stolen all their souls
Introduction of the term "Reefer madness" as a soul-stealing phenomenon
Reefer madness, is right out of control
Emphasizing the uncontrollable nature of Reefer madness
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Describing Reefer madness as a devouring force affecting the mind
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Reiteration of the destructive nature of Reefer madness
Marijuana monster is stalking the streets
Personification of marijuana as a menacing creature on the prowl
He knows what he's up to, he knows what he eats
Attribute of awareness and intention to the "Marijuana monster"
He gobbles your body and spits out your mind
Metaphorical consumption of the body and mind by marijuana
If you don't believe it then you must be blind
Challenge to skeptics who deny the harmful effects of marijuana
Reefer madness, has stolen all their souls
Reiteration of Reefer madness as a soul-stealing phenomenon
Reefer madness, is right out of control
Reemphasizing the lack of control over Reefer madness
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Reiteration of the mind-consuming nature of Reefer madness
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Reemphasis on the destructive impact of Reefer madness on the mind
Marijuana's real enough
A acknowledgment that marijuana has tangible effects
Marijuana's real enough
Repetition emphasizing the reality of marijuana's impact
Marijuana's real enough
Continuation of the acknowledgment of marijuana's real effects
(One night I was smoking dope, when I looked at my hand,
Anecdotal narrative of a surreal and humorous experience under the influence of marijuana
And I saw that I had eleven fingers, one of these fingers fell
-From my hand, onto the carpet, crawled across the floor,
-Up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank and stole my stash,
-Stole my stash !)
-Reefer madness, has stolen all their souls
Reiteration of Reefer madness as a soul-stealing phenomenon
Reefer madness, is right out of control
Reemphasizing the lack of control over Reefer madness
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Reiteration of the mind-consuming nature of Reefer madness
Evil reefer madness is a mind eating troll
Reemphasis on the destructive impact of Reefer madness on the mind
