Megadeth – Guns, Drugs & Money

Mustainen näkemys USA:n ja Meksikon välisestä huumesodasta.

”Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shots of tequila, just about high noon
Outside Nuevo Laredo, deep in no man’s land
Become a killer or be killed; face down in the Rio Grande

Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he’ll soon forget what he had

Guns, drugs and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs and money; pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs and money; a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich; you die if you choose lead

He had a suitcase full of money, plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat rolls down his dirty face, his plans have all come undone
It’s just a matter of time, no matter how he tries
He hears ”Plata O Plomo, Gringo?” the last words before he dies

Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he’ll soon forget what he had

Guns, drugs and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs and money; pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs and money; a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich; you die if you choose lead”

System of a Down – Stealing Society

”Two skies watching it all fading
Two skies living it all fading
Two skies watching it all fading
Two skies fading ones abating
Two suns living it all dying
Two suns fighting ones abiding

Two suns watching them both fighting
Two suns seeing them both dying
Two suns watching them both fighting
Two suns fighting ones abiding
Two skies seeing them both dying
Two skies fading ones abiding

Oh oh ah

Crack pipes, needles, PCP and fast cars
Kind of mix really well and a dead movie star
When I feel like talking I’ll never be wrong
If I fell like walking you best come a long
I close my windows crank the heat up high
till my palms are wet and my tongue is dry

I’m looking for a mother that will get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker if I die I die
I’m a midnight fistfight”

Pantera – Suicide Note, Pt. 1

”Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take
the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot
see inside yours and mine

(Pre)
When I’m hiding, when I need it, it lets me
breathe, for our handle on this life, I don’t believe
this time

(Chorus)
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I’m a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I’ll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again…..

Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the
slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are
you to regress unfulfilled? It’s a damn shame,
but who’s to blame?”

Godsmack – Voodoo

Hmmm… voisi kertoa esmes heroiinin käytöstä…

”I’m not the one who’s
So far away
When I feel the snakebite
Enter my veins

Never did I want to
Be here again
And I don’t remember
Why I came

Candles raise my desire
Why I’m so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay

Freezing
Feeling
Breathe in,
Breathe in!

I’m coming back again…”

Megadeth – Use the Man

Tässä lauletaan hyvin pitkälti Mustainen omasta heroiiniriippuvuudesta.

”I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
I’ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand ”

Mana Mana – Liisa

Liisa hieman trippailee.

”Metallin makua
Minä tunnen sen
Ilman värinää
Olen nähnyt ennenkin
Värejä
Minä sekoitan ne
Ääniä
Minä sekoitan ne

Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee
Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee”

Queensrÿche – The Needle Lies

Queensrÿchen huikean konseptialbumin selkeä riippuvuuskuvaus…

”Don’t ever trust
Don’t ever trust the needle, it lies
Don’t ever trust
Don’t ever trust the needle when it cries…
Cries your name

Wet and raving
The needle keeps calling me back
To bloody my hands forever
Carved my cure with the blade
That left me in scars
Now every time I’m weak
Words scream from my arm”

Murderdolls – I Take Drugs

Biisin aihe on melko selkeä. Tässä kerrotaan että ”minä käytän huumeita ja sinunkin kannattaisi”.

”Every day in every way
I’m looking for a fix to make me feel ok
I need something to give me hope
Like an automatic weapon or an eight ball of coke”

Megadeth – Mary Jane

”Forgive me father for I have sinned
I’m a child of the air, I’m a witch of the wind
Fingers gripped around my brain
No control, my mind is lame
I’m in the astral plane, and I’ll never be the same
Never, never, never, never, never, never
Never, never, never”

Usein Mary Jane viittaa marihuanaa ja tämässäkin kappaleessa voi nähdä viittauksia siihen suuntaan.
