"The Pusher" Lyrics

(Hoyt Axton)

You know I smoked a lot of grass
And I popped a couple of pills, now
But I never touched nothin' that
could break my will, now
But I've seen a lot of people
With tombstones in their eyes
If they don't get their hard stuff
You know they're gonna die
God damn the pusher man

Well, the dealer is a man
With love grass in his hand
But the pusher is a monster
And not a natural man

Yeah, the dealer take a nickel
Give you lots of fine dreams
But the pusher take your body
And leave your mind to scream
God damn the pusher

Yeah, if I were the President
of this land
I'd declare total war on the pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands
I'd shoot him if he runs
I'd kill him with my razor
And my Bible and my gun
God damn the pusher man
