WIPE THE SLEEP FROM MY EYES
REACH FOR MY STASH AND ZAGS
READY TO TWIST ONE UP REAL FAST
FOR TOMORROWS SEEDS THEM GROW UP TO BE BAD
AND THOUGH MY CLOTHES ARE A BIT SHABBY
I STILL HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH
ROCKIN THIS RUB A DUB STYLE OH OH OOHH
BUT THEN I THINK TO MYSELF OH LORD WHAT CAN I DO
OLD MARY JANE I GOT TO LEARN TO NOT TO LOVE YOU OHH OHH
OPEN THE DOOR
TO TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE
WHEN I'M WITH MARY

AND WHEN I COME HOME LATE
AND MISS JANE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
IT SEEMS MY LUCK HAS ALL RUN OUT OOH OOHH OOHH
BUT WHEN I THINK TO MYSELF OH LORD WHAT CAN I DO
OLD MARY JANE I GOT TO LEARN TO NOT TO LOVE YOU OHH OHH

The lyrics of the song "Bad Seeds" by Tomorrows Bad Seeds describe the singer's love for Mary Jane or marijuana. The song begins with the singer waking up in the morning and reaching for his stash and papers to smoke up. He acknowledges that his clothes are not the best, but his love for reggae music and marijuana uplifts him. As the song progresses, the singer realizes that his love for marijuana is taking over his life and causing problems. He understands that he needs to learn to not love Mary Jane so he can move forward in life.
The second verse continues with the singer's struggles with his addiction. He cannot seem to stay away from marijuana, and his dependence on it leads him to feel like he has run out of luck. He tries to turn down the lights and get ready for the night, but his stash is missing, and his sister has taken it. He comes to the realization that his love for marijuana has made him a bad seed, and he hopes that the next generation of marijuana enthusiasts will not end up like him.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's love for reggae music and how it makes him feel irie or good. He invites others to join him in getting high and enjoying reggae music but ultimately acknowledges that he needs to learn to control his love for Mary Jane.
