drug songs

Ah....my favorite song about drugs was White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane....


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.
Call Alice
When she was just 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 dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

God Smack by Alice In Chains.

Care Not For The Men Who Wonder
Straw That Broke Your Back, You're Under
Cast All Them Aside Who Care
Empty Eyes And Dead End Stare

Don't You Know That None Are Blind
To The Lie, And You Think I Don't Find
What You Hide?

What In God's Name Have You Done?
Stick Your Arm For Some Real Fun

For The Horse You've Grown Much Fonder
Than For Me, That I Don't Ponder
As The Hair Of One Who Bit You
Smiling Bite Your Own Self, Too

And I Think That You're Not Blind
To The Ones You Left Behind
I'll Be Here

So Be Yearning All Your Life
Twisting, Turning Like A Knife

Now You Know The Reasons Why
Can't Get High Or You Will Die
Or You'll Die

So Your Sickness Weighs A Ton
And God's Name Is Smack For Some

Now this is a thread that could go on forever, like bad acid.

HEROIN
The Velvet Underground

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me not, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

HARD LINES, SUNKEN CHEEKS
Pantera

As a child I was given the gift to entertain you.
But through blood I inherited a life that could destroy you.
I drink all day. I smoke all day. I've done it all but tap

The vein.

These hard lines and sunken cheeks are text book reasons
All these christians come alive and try to sell you

My soul for a goat, yet I'll outlive the old.
You know it's bad, some may say sad, a hangover is
Inspiration. like a junkie I hurt for it. a bad trip, the
Emptiness. I never sleep, or always sleep a lack of
Fulfillment to me is me. the big picture.
These hard lines and sunken cheeks are part of
What the christians mean to immortalize my situation.

My soul for a goat. yet I'll outlive the old.
Embrace some religion. to get close to some
Undivine ejaculation point.

Simply to thy ghost I cling.
Simply to thy ghost I reject.
Simply to thy ghost I give spit.

Tempter, tempting, tempt me. molest me. you know that i'll
Submit. for this is my weakness and it saves me from relationships
With those christians. you know they'll sell you my soul

For a goat. yet I'll outlive the old.

Velvet Underground is the first band I thought of after seeing this thread. Here is my -- or Lou's -- contribution:


I'm Waiting For The Man Lyrics


I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man

This coming from a guy who has OD'd on harry how many times?

Pantera be funny...

COCAINE (KILLED MY COMMUNITY)
A3

Cocaine killed my community
Heroin hurt my home
Mama went down on the Morphine
Papa got high on the Physeptone
My sister swings on Psilocybin
My brother broke up on Barbituates
My two little cousins goon Barbituates
My two little cousins got shot selling rock
Outside the old school gates

CHORUS

I don't mind cos I live in the light
I live in the light of the Lord
The sword, the Lord he gave me
Is the sword thats gonna save me
I live in the light of the Lord
'Cos
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour my gracious Lord

CHEECH & CHONG
Reefer Song

One sunny day I was riding my bike and smoking a joint coz that's what I like,
a policeman stopped me and began to stare and he said hey sonny what you smoking there ?

I said it's a reefer do you want some policeman ?
It's a reefer do you want a blast ?
It's a reefer do you want some policeman or would you prefer me to shove it up your ass ?

Well he put me in his car and he left my bike and took my reefer which he quite liked,
We got to the station and his eyes were all red and the Seargent said, constable your outta your head,

He said yeah it's a reefer do you want some Seargent?
It's a reefer do you want a blast ?
It's a reefer do you want some Seargent or would you prefer me to shove it up your ass ?

Well he suspended the constable for his little joke and he went to the bathroom to have a little toke,
when he got back and rolled another 8 and they were being past round every copper in the place,

Well I sold two ounces and 1/16th and they had rolled the biggest joint that world has ever seen,

and they all sang together
It's a reefer do you want some mindless ?
It's a reefer do you want a blast ?
It's a reefer do you want some mindless ?
Thanks for your company and thanks for the grass.

That isn't a Cheech and Chong song Cav, it's by an aussie bloke who calls himself The Mindless Drug Hoover. Wherever you got those lyrics from has fgucked up.

Hmm...okie dokie then. Those lyric sites are mostly wrong anyway. The Mindless Drug Hoover eh...I think I prefer the fine artistry of Mr. Methane.

LEGALIZE IT
Peter Tosh

Legalize it - don't criticize it
Legalize it and i will advertise it

Some call it tampee
Some call it the weed
Some call it Marijuana
Some of them call it Ganja

Legalize it - don't criticize it
Legalize it and i will advertise it

Singer smoke it
And players of instruments too
Legalize it, yeah, yeah
That's the best thing you can do
Doctors smoke it
Nurses smoke it
Judges smoke it
Even the lawyers too

Legalize it - don't criticize it
Legalize it and i will advertise it

It's good for the flu
It's good for asthma
Good for tuberculosis
Even umara composis

Legalize it - don't criticize it
Legalize it and i will advertise it

Bird eat it
And they leave it
Fowls eat it
Goats love to play with it

The Helium Song
John Forster

(imagine the singer on helium.)

Cocaine Bill & Morphine Sue--
Get out the way. Here comes Helium Hugh.
Helium [inhale]...runnin' round my brain.
A ten buck bottle on the street
Gets you about a hundred fifty cubic feet
Of helium...running round my brain.

I'm all through with blow and boo,
Bourbon, cigarettes and airplane glue.
I no longer waste my breath
Crying "Give me Librium or Give me Meth."

Breathe it in/ Up ya go.
Nice and slow/ When you're done
And down ya come/ Cause helium
Is really um-believable stuff.

Float in space, your mind's a blank.
The only pressure is in the tank.
Nothing can upset this tranquil mood.

[Break: Kazoo on helium]

Father James says all the monks
Got helium hoses in their bunks.
"Et com spiritu tuo helium"

Crack is bad and smack is bad
And so is LSD.
And I vaguely recall that pot
Does...something bad to your memory.

So when I die, Oh please don't skinp.
Bury my body in the Goodyear blimp
I got to got to have that helium...runnin' round my brain.

Helium, helium, helium, helium helium helium helium... [Dogs bark]

Announcer: Kids, don't try this at home. There's no such thing as a safe drug. If you're at a party and your friends are doing balloons...just say no

Too Easy!

Cypress Hill - I want to get high:

I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!
Well that's the funk elastic, the blunt I twist it
The slamafied, (buddafied) funk on your discus
Oh, what you messed with, you got to bare witness
Catch a ho and another ho Merry Christmas
Yes I smoke ****, straight off the roach clip
I roach it roll the blunt at once to approach it
Forward motion make you sway like the ocean
The herb is more than just a powerful potion
What's the commotion, yo I'm not joking around
People learning about, what they're smoking
My oven is on high, when I roast the quail
Tell Bill Clinton to go and inhale
Exhale, now you felt the funk of the power
now feel the effects...
I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!
I want to get high - so high!

Hits From The Bong

Hits From The Bong
Pick it, pack it,
Fire it up, Come along,
And take a hit from the bong,
Put the blunt down just for a second,
Don't get me wrong it's not a new method,
Inhale, Exhale,
Just got a ounce in the mail,
I like a blunt or a big fat cone,
But my double barrel bong is gettin' me stoned,
I'm skill it, There's water inside don't spill it,
It smells like **** on the carpet,
Still it, goes down smooth when I get a clean hit,
Of the skunky funky smelly green ****,
Sing my song, puff all night long,
As I take Hits from the bong...
Hits From The Bong y'all
Gonna get high,
Hits From The Bong
Gonna get high,
Hits From The Bong
Gonna get high,
Hits From The Bong
Let's smoke that bowl, hit the bong,
And then take that finger off of that hole,
Plug it, unplug it,
Don't straaaain, I love you Mary Jane,
She never complains, when I hit Mary,
With that flame, I light up the cherry,
She's so good to me, when I pack a fresh bowl I clean the screen,
Don't get me stirred up the smoke, through the bub-bling water,
Is Makin' it pure so I got ta', take my hit and hold it,
Just like Chong, I hit the bowl and I reload it,
Get my four-footer and bring it on...
As I take Hits from the bong,
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit
Straighten your dick out...

Grandmaster Flash White Lines (Don't Don't Do It):

(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin? through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High fry) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin? your brain

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
(Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

(When you gonna come down) my temperature is risin?
(When the thrill is gone) no, I don?t want you to go

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He?s out on bail and out of jail
And that?s the way it goes
Raah!

(Kane! Sugar! Kane! Sugar! Kane!)

Athletes rejected, governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This aint funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose

(Yeah man th-that?s that?s raw, wuh)

(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!
Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)

TITLE: The Old Dope Peddler

When the shades of night are falling
Comes a fellow everyone knows
It's the old dope peddler
Spreading joy wherever he goes

Ev'ry evening you will find him
Around our neighborhood
It's the old dope peddler
Doing well by doing good

He gives the kids free samples
Because he knows full well
That today's young innocent faces
Will be tomorrow's clientele

Here's a cure for all your troubles
Here's an end to all distress
It's the old dope peddler
With his powdered happiness


Talking Heads - Drugs Lyrics

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots
Feels like a murder but that’s alright
Somebody said there’s too much light
Pull down the shade and it’s alright
It’ll be over in a minute or two.

I’m charged up...don’t put me down
Don’t feel like talking...don’t mess around
I feel mean...i feel o.k.
I’m charged up...electricity

The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls all start to laugh
I don’t know what they’re talking about
The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
They pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody know what they’re talking about

I’m charged up...i’m kinda wooden
I’m barely moving...i study motion
I study myself...i fooled myself
I’m charged up...it’s pretty intense.
I’m charged up...don’t put me down
Don’t feel like talking...don’t mess around
I feel mean...i feel o.k.
I’m charged up...electricity.

The Needle and the Damage Done
Neil Young

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

One Toke Over The Line
Brewer & Shipley

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Whoooo do you love, I hope it's me
I've bin a changin', as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me, surely strike me dead
Now I'm one toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I'm waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I bin away a country mile,
Now I'm returnin' showin' off a smile
I met all the girls and loved myself a few
Ended by surprise like everything else I've been through
It opened up my eyes and now I'm
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I want to be
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

That thing swung, but I thought they were saying, "...one TOE over the line."

SISTER MORPHINE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards/M. Faithfull)

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.
