People on T.V. tell him things he doesn't believe

"When I'm watchin' my T.V. 
And that man comes on to tell me 
How white my shirts can be 
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke 
The same cigarrettes as me" 

- Rolling Stones

The "same cigarettes as me" part does not refer to marijuana as a different cigarette, it is simply used as an identification tool to differentiate their levels in society. For example, a more expensive cigarette is smoked by a wealthier man, so the writer of this song could see him as a sellout and therefore not a man.

- Anthony Falcioni
