The Bicycle Thief – Cereal Song

”Heroin
Heroin
And cocaine
And cocaine
I loved them both
But they took my life
They took my friends
They won’t give ‘em back
Well I want ‘em back
Give ‘em back now

And what has it gotten me
Just some teeth I can’t chew
My favorite cereal with”

Heroiini ja kokaiini vei kaverit ja hampaat, joten enää ei voi syödä lempimuroja.

The Cranberries – Salvation

”To all the people doing lines
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It’s free, it’s free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don’t do it, don’t do it
Because it’s not, not what it seems
Oh no, it’s not, not what it seems”

Biisissä tunnutaan kannustavan olemaan käyttämättä aineita.

James Brown – King Heroin

”I’m financed in China, ran in Japan
I’m respected in Turkey and I’m legal in Siam
I take my addicts and make ’em steal, borrow, beg
Then they search for a vein in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, Black or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex
So now, no, my man, you must (you know) do your best
To keep up your habit until your arrest”

James Brown laulaa heroiinin vaaroista antamalla kappaleessa suunvuoron aineelle itselleen ja seurauksena on pitkä totuuksien litania.
