One last joint

from Songs for the revolution by Lee Brickley

/

lyrics

Everyone needs a hero and Howard was mine
He flaunted the law, and he even did time
For a cause he believed in, saw through all the lies
So I'm lighting one last joint to Howard's demise

Entrepreneur recruited as a spy
Wanted by agents at the FBI
43 passports, always fucking high
Known to his closest friends as Mr Nice

Mr it's so nice to meet you
Thank you for taking a stand
Your name will live on beyond you
We planted your seed all over this land

Running with shipments flew from Pakistan
He smoked in the mountains of Afghanistan
Sticky black tar and a roach in his hand
Smuggling into Shannon thanks to Jim McCann

Taken from Spain and then locked in a cell
They couldn't break him in that old living hell
He kept his head and helped others as well
The cracker from Wales with a story to tell

Everyone needs a hero and Howard was mine
He flaunted the law, and he even did time
For a cause he believed in, saw through all the lies
So I'm lighting one last joint to Howard's demise

I'm lighting one last joint to Howard's demise
