Lift this ban up
There’s nothing to control
Tear this ban up
There’s nothing to hold
Of all the highs in the world
Alcohol seems the devils own
While things like tobacco are there so cheap
A box of booze is not for keeps
It’s not only smoking that I mean
The chewable kind is harder to free
Why oh why then do we have this ban?
To fill the holes of people who never had
Gandhi wanted it for political reason
To stop the revenue for British treason
Gave up his life for the people of this nation
Corruption is the only gift we have given
Enter the thought of a Gujarati's mind
Safety correlates to the consumption of its kind
Hence it is labelled as a bad thing
Not thinking where all of it is going
Pay a hefty sum to bootleg a bottle
Most of the money goes for illicit extortion
Generating sums of millions
Not one paisa of it is legal
The poor who cannot afford these kind
Turn to their natives, drinking blind
The local shine can be fatal
Things added to increase intoxication
Still the big-wigs just stand by
With a tall glass of an aged wine
Even though the issue is faced by thousands
All we can do is bemoan the situation
The young Gujju out of his home
Sees a booze shop and loses control
Thus starts a drinking binge
Away from home
Who’s gonna see him?
His folks are at home
I’ve lost all hope of seeing a pub
Where I can just go and have some fun
Fast forward a million years this affair will prevail
It’ll reach a point where there’s only despair
There’s nothing to control
Tear this ban up
There’s nothing to hold
Of all the highs in the world
Alcohol seems the devils own
While things like tobacco are there so cheap
A box of booze is not for keeps
It’s not only smoking that I mean
The chewable kind is harder to free
Why oh why then do we have this ban?
To fill the holes of people who never had
Gandhi wanted it for political reason
To stop the revenue for British treason
Gave up his life for the people of this nation

I can only imagine the feeling! You fail to disappoint as usual. I happened to be listening to "Your body is wonderland" as I read this. Some irony...
