Alright
Come on

[Verse 1]
Some folks say that smokin' herb is a crime
If they catch you smokin', they're bound to drop the dime
Insufferable, informer crazy fools
Wait, with their fingers crossed, for you to break the rules
And in the evening, we try to jam
We like our music loud, in this here band
We let the bass line drop as loud as we can stand
Somebody always gotta turn informer for the man
I want to know, know right now
Is it one of you in the crowd?
Are you gonna call 9-1-1, and spoil all of my fun?

[Pre-Chorus]
You crazy fools

[Chorus]
I'm in the mood, get ready
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah
I'm in the mood, are you ready?
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah
Come on an'

[Verse 2]
Load up the bong, crank up the song
Let the informer call 9-1-1
Load up the bong, crank up the song
Let the informer call 9-1-1
And when security police force g'won arrive
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
Just pull out the .9, pop in the clip
Puh, and let one slip

[Pre-Chorus]
Into these crazy fools

[Chorus]
I'm in the mood, get ready
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah
I'm in the mood, are you ready?
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah

[Verse 3]
And in the evenin', when we try to jam
We like the music loud, in this here band
Oh, I wanna know now
I want to know, know right now
Are you willing, are you willin' and able?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, got the crazy fool

[Verse 4]
Some folks say that smoking herb is a crime
If they catch you smokin', they're bound to drop the dime
Insufferable, informer crazy fools
Wait, with their fingers crossed, for you to break the rules

[Chorus]
But, I'm in the mood, get ready
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah
I'm in the mood, are you ready?
I'm in the mood
Come on now, yeah
I'm in the mood, get ready
I'm in the mood
Come on now

Sublime

Sublime was an American ska punk and alternative rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1988. The band’s line-up, unchanged until their breakup, consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell’s dalmatian, was the mascot of the band. Michael ‘Miguel’ Happoldt and Marshall Goodman “Ras MG” contributed to and co-wrote several Sublime songs. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996. In 1997, posthumous songs such as “Santeria”, “Wrong Way”, “Doin' Time”, and “April 29, 1992 (Miami)” were released to U.S. radio.

Sublime released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums (one of which also contains never-before released material), three EPs and one box set. Although their first two albums (40oz. to Freedom [1992] and Robbin' the Hood [1994]) were quite popular in the United States, Sublime did not experience major commercial success until 1996 with their self-titled third album. Released two months after Nowell’s death, it peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single “What I Got”, which remains the band’s only number one hit single (on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart) in their musical career. As of 2009, the band has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, including about 10 million in the U.S. alone.
