Less Than Jake - Dopeman Lyrics
Dopeman dopeman's got another big plan
to sell it to you or anyone he can
because this is much better than minimum wage
no matter how things work he's still gonna get paid
think about it for a minute more -
a quick money fix from a deal or 2
when a decision comes down
what would you do?
you take - take a welfare state
or a dopeman's fate
and keep the cycle spinnin' round
dopeman dopeman's got the upperhand
people wanna get as much as they can
because those reasons they'll always stay the same
and for some people it's the only way to stay sane
a life of crime or hangin' round the liquor store
a quick drug fix to get you through
when the decision comes down
what would you do?

Less Than Jake Dopeman Comments
I love this one
I love the opening trumpet
It's a trombone
@Less Than Ghostface oops well it's still a brass instrument
@Y4123 aha, yea 😂
Roger looking like a snack 😍
ugh whyd they have to use the trash version of this song? best is on losing streak
What are you talking about, there is no trash version to this song
GOAT MAN GOAT MAN
Damn it- now thats all i can hear--
so when this came out in my youth twas 1 of the many things that inspired who i was and what i said,peep this boys https://youtu.be/HCzWPBR30Nk?list=PLBnlZKkB5CEIHjg0xiWnQ5ELK39kTgfgw
Shouldn't JR and Jess be in this? I didn't see them.
Saw them 2 nights ago in New Haven, still rock.
What movie or game was this from? How do i know this song I'm 28. lol think my friend might of just put this on a cd for me
I got it on a CD of music videos that came with a pair of doc martins lol.
Wish my dopeman wasn't so slow. Lolol!!
lol this song, what album was this on? I never knew this was a thing.
notyoursavior78 losing streak
It's a multi-culti ((Dieversity wonderland))
I remember Less Than Jake really, really hating this song.
I always wished this song would suddenly have like a final, fast and loud chorus. The verses are amazing though.
I love the outro, I see what you mean but it's a pretty mellow song all in all..
Some backing vocals during the final chorus would work very well.
Never heard this version with the turntables. I'm guessing it was a record company idea to capitalize on trends at the time.
Charles Willis yea. surprised me too. I remember the original ska tune.
Where's Jessica Mills?
I am pretty sure that's her in the blonde wig and Japanese Sun shirt. Mainly because she is in the scenes where the band is doing the accent parts of the song. I think this was close to when she left so I may be wrong.
skaluv Maybe. If the video quality was better we could find out
not maybe. she is
If you're interested the video's director Mark Kohr posted a lot of his videos including this one at a much higher quality on Vimeo.
yep sugar ray def stole this video idea
and they stole it from de la soul. it's just roller skating
I have seen this band 3 times! And got to meet roger after one of there shows and my friends and i toked up w him and 3 of his buds! Great memories! Even got a pic w him! He even put his arm around my waist! I bout peed myself! Lolol
So fucking lucky. I wish I could smoke with Roger ):
dopeman is definitely one of my top favorites next to theme song for h street
was that cop at the end george lopez? O.o
No you minger it was Erik Estrada (Officer Frank Poncherello)...from CHiPs.
these guys rock harder then a pizza place + head shop + your mom's house X3
Not even remotely punk rock. Poser girly BOY-BAND BS.
Sounds like ska more than anything else
cause they are ska.
Weeeell, ya SEE, son...
It's definitely ska, but if you listen more closely, it also has the feel of 60s soul/funk/r&b/motown whatever you want to call it. It reminds me of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rImQZ8euKok
@SkaMasta097 Motown never sounded so good
Anyone else hear this and think of Ricky from TPB?
lol yes hahaha #brothers
Smokes, lets go.
Can't wait to them tomorrow
and in 2014 the government got jealous and started taxing the balls off of cigarettes and alcohol
this aint punk. punk is the crass , or joy division .... but not this. this is american 'hard pop' music ...
+Robert Salgado Stop upsetting Francis. He'll mutate you, try and kill you, steal your girl and you'll end up fighting him on top of a giant ship.
joy division isn't punk. less than jake is far more punk than joy division.
Joy Division are a punk band! They got together at a Pistols gig!
Its Less Then Jake, what is wrong whit you.....
..so fucking what ganre they are.....bullshit
gonna go see em tonight in Calgary! :)
After all these years - the girl in the pink shorts has dat booty.
I stand corrected. Good job.
It didn't exist 16 years ago. Did you time travel or somin?
Hahahahahahaha......wtf....haajajaha
Is this an NWA song?
im 30 years old and ive loved this song since I was 14
Thumbs up if the first time you watched this was in the late 90s on less than Jake's homepage and you had no idea what was going on because your 56k connection was so shitty
is that fat mike? RIGHT in the beginning
loooool this song played on my voice mail in high school.... Wow.. now that i think about it that wasn't the best idea for advertisement...
Man, where's the dope?
For more punk rock, watch The Strange Times TV!!
I think you got this from the Doc Martens enhanced CD, didn't you? I can tell because of the ugly late 90s video artifacts.
This song...it's a pity I loved Less than Jake as a young kid still like them but musical taste has changed alot but tk discover that LTJ dont even bun man... Anti establishment ska punk rockers pro bull shit corrupt laws...heres to hoping times have changed for them and they have green cards or the other dude has cutt off his Ras
Ollie Taylor wtf are you talking about?
Traitor
Idiot 😂
Can someone point out Jessica in this video for me?
what album is this from????????!?!?!
Losing Streak
Fucking 90`s GET BACK HERE!!!!
roger rocks short and long hair ^.^
F A C T S
It's not just me that hears that then! :D
what is this version? different from the album one
black man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOO MY ........
1:07 how I feel about this song
you ever stopped?
@Djmc2222 What?
who needs dope when there's ska?
Damn takes me way back
@punker333 op ivy too
@Numonkei also ASOB (even though they have been around since 95 they released the first album in 98) if you're into the harder ska theres choking victim/leftover crack, there is always tons you just have to look really hard for them
@Numonkei I myself appreciate The Pinstripes, Green Room Rockers, We Are The Union just to name a few
@punker333 Name one. Not meant with any vitriol, but as an honest question. I haven't heard of a good new ska band since 1997.
@SweetenSr84 there tons of great new ska bands
@SkaMasta097 i thought i was the only person who noticed that
I think i have to pay a visit to my local dopeman
BTW the fast chorus version is way better
@GOTSTEEZE92: Tell me about it this takes me back to when I was 14yrs to 16yrs old in 1996-1998! Grew up listening to bands like this and Mighty Mighty Bosstones! Miss all the oldskool music!
@gotsteeze92 cause bands stopped making it :'(
Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5 does the remix version that is in this video. Does anyone else find this song sounds similar to 103rd Street Rhythm Band's "Express Yourself". I always thought this song was influence by old 50s-60's R&B/Soul, especially the bassline
god i love less than jake
HOLY COW THIS IS SO NOSTALGIC
@foreveralwaysalone BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Awesome:)
@foreveralwaysalone I looked it up and it is in fact Rerun.
gotta love the 90's and early 2000's
@potato3215 Yes it is Eric Estrada ha ha, and he seemed to be in many music videos in the late 90's as a cop.
great song but sucks compared to the losing streak version!!
wow the verson of this song on losing streak
is waaaay better
DOPEMAN! DOPEMAN!
Reminds me of growing up ^_^
Cant wait till the 20th.....gonna see these guys once again.....Been a fan for 15 years.....their music will never get old to me
dopeman dopeman
My uncle is the guy with the briefcase at the start of the video.
hahah, Roger at 1:18 when he hands him the skate looks JUST like Aladdin.
I wish my buddy(dealer) looked like Borat.. :c
@LAPPINGJIM yeah, this version sucks.
This versions different to the one on losing streak, wheres this version from?
This video is awesome
Holy fuck does this take me back. Why did the hell did I ever stop listening to ska?!?
:D its a charmed life
I love roger......he's amazing xxxxxxx
@naivetomato its called monobrow ;)
is that fuckin eric estrada?!?! XD
Baha, 2:10.
Great song.
What's up with this version? A LOT more polished than the original off of Losing Streak, plus a different chorus, added bridge....I want the original!
If you like this, you might like our ska/punk band. Check them out on our profile. Hope you enjoy the music.
this video is so awesome and i fuckin' love it... the only thing missing is a midget!! :-)
