I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and ******** my head Hang out with the living dead Snort white shit up my nose Pass out at the shows I don't even think about speed That's something I just don't need I've got the straight edge I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and smoke dope 'Cause I know I can cope Laugh at the thought of eating ludes Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue Always gonna keep in touch Never want to use a crutch I've got the straight edge How's that for a drug song?
And, of course, that would be Commander Cody. If figure their song, 'Too Much Fun' must have some drug inference somewhere.
In my quest to determine who actually wrote that song, I did see plenty of Little Feat references. I'm pretty sure I spent loads of time listening to the Little Feat and Fraternity of Man versions, but I own neither now.
Which reminds me of a song called Herbs Pirate by the Itals about the difficulties of harvesting what you worked so hard to grow.
Not actually a drug song. Spoonman is/was a street musician in Seattle. He played the spoons. He was kind of annoying, actually. I think he's in the video for the song, too.
So my first submission failed miserably, but here's a song I put on just about every time I smoke a bowl: ALO - Wasting Time (Isla Vista Song) Well I was sittin' on the porch with Mel and Web Kickin' back pullin' tubes courtesy of Jeb When Smootie rang up and he dropped a dime We're at the Django house and the waves are fine Dan came back with an ol' lap steel When he puts it in his hands he's got to be real If you come around the corner don't forget to turn And bring a little fire we got somethin' to burn I got around the corner, I was half way there When I met Ted Moore and of course John Hare They had just got a sack weighing 3.5 It was 4:19, just about that time So we took a detour to 6703 The house they occupy oceanside D.P. Got up stairs and locked the door Jerry and the Dead on the video They pulled out the binger and I started to drool It was the 5 foot caustic weapon crystal tool I caught the fumes and I lost my mind Happens every time that I smoke the kind, but... I never learn but I don' mind, I'm just wastin' time I went to the beach and I picked up a rock I threw it in the ocean and the waves then Caught it and dropped it back into the sea So then I walked away and I let it be Cause it had been lying there for a million days Before I picked it up and threw it away I left the shore, went to the liquor store Saw crazy Bruce, he was waiting for Someone to buy him some fine malt liquor When he gets it in his system he's a real shitkicker He'll play you a song if you've got the time And even if you don't, he's liable to try So I left him there, and went into S.O.S. Bought myself a bottle of the black cisco death Drank it down while watching Dave's band Somebody stuck a doob in my hand So I took a hit and I passed it on I woke up on the pavement not before too long I never learn but I don't mind But sometimes it takes a couple of tries, but...
Everclear has some good ones. "Strawberry" on Sparkle and Fade comes to mind. "Normal Like You" is the best song ever about anti-depressents, which are drugs, sort of.
Tres Agujas (three needles) by Fito Paez. Los barcos viajan de país en país la luna no siempre es la misma y vos te vas a ir, solo en la habitación tu mamá se fue a Marruecos sin alhajas. Es algo así como cansarse de todo y todo sigue dando vueltas. Estoy abriéndome, estoy cansándome, mi nación no tiene cruces ni banderas. No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco. Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena. Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde. casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza. No, creo que nunca es tarde, una válvula de escape se transforme en un acorde No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas. Están partiendo el mundo por la mitad, están quemándose las velas. Están usándome, están riéndose y mi canción es un antídoto liviano No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco. Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena. Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde. casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza. Una cuerda es una bala, el amor un ejercicio una iglesia es como un circo. No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas. Quiero vivir aquí, más quiero cambiar cambiar para sentirme vivo y te daré una flor antes que un decadrón oh! mi amor, estoy tranquilo pero herido.
Old Crow Medicine Show - Tell it To Me Well I’m ridin’ down Fifth Street, I’m comin’ down Main I tried to bum a nickel for to buy cocaine Cocaine’s gonna kill my honey dead Chorus: Now won’t you tell it to me Tell it to me Drink the corn liquor let the cocaine be Cocaine’s gonna kill my honey dead I sniff cocaine before I die I’d be sniffin’ cocaine if it took my life Cocaine’s gonna kill my honey dead Now I sniff cocaine, I sniff it in the wind The doc he says it’ll kill me but he can’t say when Cocaine’s gonna kill my honey dead All them rounders that think they’re tough But they feed their women on the beer and the snuff Cocaine’s gonna kill my honey dead
I was gonna say that's it's quite ironic that someone with the screen name "minorthreat" starts a thread about drug songs... I nominate "Kid Charlemagne" - Steely Dan
In the 60's I met a Hippy couple just married. The husband hooked me up with all the good music of the 60's. Grassroots, Black Sabbot stuff like that. Before that it was the Jay and the Americans and groups like that for me. Any way one of the albums was called was called if I recall right "Have a Marijuana." On the album or on that sone was the Lyrics. "Up against the wall you mutherfuccker." I used to hear that alot back then as a kid so I liked it. I had to mispelled the words or I think this post would be bleeped out. I think this might be the words to this song which I found on the internet. Hope it doesn't get bleeped out.

I saw some Texans write but they neglected to mention the Butthole Surfers, with classics like "Booze, Tobacco, Dope, **********, Cars" & "John E. Smoke". Just about all of their songs would qualify for this category. Camper Van Beethoven "Eye of Fatima" Zappa "Cocaine Decisions" Eat "Mr. & Mrs. Smack"
