Hash-Head Farmers' Death
Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A would-be punk, wanna change the rules,
Hash and pot,
Controlled by the mob
You pot head-dorks
Exploit the poor,
Third-world farmers, exploited each day,
For you to have a hit, so you could fly away,
Controlled by the mob
You pot head-dorks
Exploit the poor,
Ridiculous wages is what they get paid,
Revolutionary hash-heads, another joke to me,
Hash and pot,
Controlled by the mob
You pot head-dorks
Exploit the poor,
In the first verse, the lyrics criticize individuals who use marijuana as a means to appear cool or rebellious, particularly those who identify themselves as punk rockers wanting to challenge societal norms. The songwriter accuses them of being ignorant and naive about the consequences of their actions.
The chorus continues the condemnation, suggesting that the illegal marijuana trade is controlled by organized crime syndicates. The term "mob" implies that these criminal organizations profit from the production and distribution of hash and pot. The lyrics accuse the individuals who consume marijuana of indirectly supporting the exploitation and suffering of impoverished farmers in third-world countries.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that these pot enthusiasts benefit from the labor of these farmers. The songwriter uses irony when referring to the individuals who use marijuana as "revolutionary hash-heads," mockingly pointing out the contradiction between their supposed rebellious image and their actual complicity in the exploitation of these farmers for personal pleasure.
The final chorus reiterates that the poor farmers who cultivate the marijuana receive paltry wages for their exhausting work. The lyrics suggest that the so-called "revolutionary hash-heads" are nothing more than a joke, lacking true understanding or dedication to any meaningful cause. The songwriter's message is clear: those who consume marijuana should be aware of the ethical implications and consequences tied to its production and distribution, rather than simply indulging in recreational use without considering the broader social impact.
