Top 10 Songs About Cocaine
This is the original Eric Clapton covered.
"If you want to hang out, you've got to take her out, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done and you got to run, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If your thing is gone and you want to ride on, cocaine
don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine"
James Hetfield explained this song "deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing, it's drugs controlling you."
He didn't mention cocaine but it could be about cocaine ("Chop your breakfast on a mirror").
Huh? Never realized it's about cocaine :O
Amazing bassline and fun song despite the somewhat dark message. Flash and the Furious Five were ahead of their time and gave birth to conscious hip-hop, they deserve a spot on this list.
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
"Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, sister morphine, you better make up my bed"
Dark skies and heavy rain, bright lights and cocaine...
"She" means cocaine in the song.
