The song is "Marijuana" by The soul syndicate.
I understand the first verse.
The problem is in the second verse I don't understand it very well.

It say something as:

we ...... come from the collieweed
and smoke ..... sing?
i don't care ......

Hope anyone help me!

Here's what I get:

They say
That it's against the law
And I smoke it
Like cigar
Every minute
Of the hour
For it is good
For my mind power

[chorus]
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head

where I come from
They call it weed
And I smoke up
The very seed
I don't care what
They wanna say
Because I smoke marijuana
Every day

[chorus]
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head

The most I can say
It can make you mad
But it's the best thing
That I ever had

When I'm in, lord
When I'm in the mood
Marijuana is my brain food

[chorus]
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head

where I come from
They call it weed
And I smoke up
The very seed
I don't care what
They wanna say
Because I smoke marijuana
Every day

Most people just
Don't like the stuff
But I can't smoke a little, lord
I've got the smoke enough
To penetrate my mind
Right through the day
I smoke marijuana
In every way

[chorus](x6)
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head
Marijuana, marijuana
To my head

thanks you! Iron_Spire

i believe it's "soothes my head", and not "to my head"
