In my estimation
      There's a lot of love to live in this wonderful world
      We are so lucky... so lucky
      As the chances of us existing are so astronomically slim
        that it can only be a gift

      I am proud to be given this chance to live and love and share
      And in the estimation of my country - I am a criminal
      Most of my friends are criminals
      And my heroes are criminals...

                    My religion is branded a crime
                    My meditation is branded a crime
                    My social life is a branded crime
                    
      And if this must continue to be so
      I believe my great country has failed

      For if I want to smoke a bud or eat a mushroom
      Delve into shamanic trance and dance or create art
      And you are going to call me a criminal
      I ask you to label music and movies and poetry
      Appropriately "Made by criminals of the USA"
      
      Or let the moral majority be counted hypocrites
      For enjoying the fruits of the artists' labor.
