Jefferson Airplane - white rabbit



One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don’t do anything at all.
Go ask Alice,
When she’s ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits,
And you know you’re going to fall,
Tell’em a hookah smoking caterpillar,
Has given you the call.
To Call Alice,
When she was just as small.

When the men on the chessboard,
Get up and tell you where to go,
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom,
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice,
I think she’ll know.

When logic and proportion,
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards,
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the Doormouse said.
Feed your head, Feed your head!

In this song, Grace Slick is trying to convey the message that if parents raise their kids on movies like Disney's "Alice in Wonderland", where Alice clearly takes drug-like substances to embark on the trippy journey the story revolves around, how can they expect their children not to expiriment with illegal substances such as "shrooms" and LSD.

You kind of cop out in this one... You need to tell us what you think about the song... what your opinion is... and then your readers will give you theirs.
