about

A song about Rene Boje, a medical marijuana activist, who was arrested in California USA and fled to Canada to get herself leverage from the clampdown who wanted her to serve 25 years for helping cancer patients.

lyrics

It’s Dylan in the sky nothin’ left of apple pie
We stare at the screen cause cancer go mean
And Renee’s in the rain ganja heals the pain
And sooner or later the Cannucks will realize
Renee’s been fighting against the drug squad
Renee’s been fighting against the drug squad

Well it seemed like a dream too good to be true
The weed grows high so the patients can live in their millions
Don’t ya know you gotta give
But there’s someone looking down
From that mountainside
Renee’s been fighting against the drug squad
Renee’s been fighting against the drug squad

10 years for you, 19 for you may get us for 25, that is if we’re all alive

An then there came the night of the greatest every raid
They arrested all Renee’s that had ever been made
But she’s not there of to Canada to fight what’s fair
And they didn’t halt the pull cause those jails are all full
Renee’s still fighting gainst the drug squad
Renee’s fighting gainst the drug squad

They put her in court in the land of the snow
Cotler said Renee that ‘s it’s time that you go
You’ve gotta face the man you’re a thorn in our plan
But she’s gonna give a fight cause she stands in the right
Renee’s been fighting against the drug squad
Renee’s a hero gainst the drug squad
Cotler!

And it’s 10 years for you, 19 for you may get us for 25, that is if we’re all alive
It’s not fair. DEA free Renee Boje!
