Country Joe and the Fish – Bass Strings

Country Joe and the Fishin debyyttialbumilla on tämä oivallisesti trippailua ja mielen laajentamista kuvaava biisi.

”Hey partner, won’t you pass that reefer round,
My world is spinnin’, yeah, just got to slow it down.
Oh, yes you know I’ve sure got to slow it down.
Get so high this time that you know
I’ll never come down, I’ll never come down.
I believe I’ll go out to the seashore, let the waves wash my mind,
Open up my head now just to see what I can find.
Oh, yes you know I’m gonna see what I can find,
Just one more trip now, you know I’ll stay high
All the time, all the time.”

Counting Crows – Perfect Blue Buildings

Heroiinin käytöstä kertova kappale. Kaveri on lievästi ottanut liikaa ja pelkää nukahtavansa…

”Just down the street from your hotel baby
I stay at home with my disease
And ain’t this position familiar darling
Well all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake I’m falling…

Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who’ll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake I’m falling…”

Clipse – Cot’ Damn

Diilerihommeleita…

”God damn, when that white hits the pen and
Comes back hard, I can account for every gram and
The streets molded the man I am
The pimp, the hustler, the crook, the killer, go-rilla
Traits of a blow dealer, cost my fame”

Clawfinger – Die High

Clawfingerin kakkosalbumin biisissä varoitellaan huumeiden käytöstä.

”There’s a lot of good reasons but no excuse
You can never justify your drug abuse
You can legalize the hit but the problems remain
You still feel like shit the effect’s the same
You’re wasting your time with that fucking crap
The choice is yours and I can give you that
And you still want to get high”

Classified – It’s Sickening

Laulun henkilö kertoo kuinka hurahti marihuanan polttoon ja kuinka se on ajanut hänet huonoon jamaan.

”Ended up in the mental clinic, doc said I had to finish
With the weed game and everything that’s in it
But I didn’t so I’m livin in this world filled with misery
Weed seems to get to me,
Better leave and let it be
I can’t believe that I ever put that shit in me”

The Clash – Koka Kola

Kokaiinista kertova kappale…

”Coming through the door is a snub nose 44
What the barrel can’t snort it can spatter on the floor
Your eyeballs feel like pinballs
And your tongue feels like a fish
You’re leaping from the windows-saying don’t
Ayaiiiiirrrghhh! *@!!*@!!*!
Don’t give me none of this!

I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn’t any
So freeze, man, freeze”

The Clash – Drug-Stabbing Time

Biisi kuvaa todella osuvasti huumeiden aiheuttamia vainoja.

”Drug stabbin’ time
It’s a Greenwich Mean Time
Your friends all hate each other you think
You’ve got another
But who’s at the door?
Don’t answer it no more

Drug stabbin time
In a bedroom crime
There’s a tape recording on a telephone line
An’ it’s ringin from the floor
So don’t answer it no more”
