Story Behind The Song

Frikkin' Steepenwolf, what a great band, thought if i put the hip hop vibe in and gave it an edgy rap counterpoint vocal it might work...and it does!

Song Description

There's a guy, or maybe a group of guys who want to keep a certain part of the American population enslaved by drug addiction, so they have a fake War on Drugs and then make behind the scenes deals with the Drug lords. So whose relly the PUsher?

Lyrics

The Pusher
Hoyt Axton/Interpolation by Daniel Sullivan copyriight 2006

The Pusher is a man with a gun in his hand,
He wants to hold you to the ground make you a one night stand,
He'll suck on your body, make your mind his prey,
And just like Dirty Harry you can make his day,

You know I've smoked a lot of grass,
Oh Lord, I've popped a lot of pills,
But I've never touched nothing, that my spirit couldn't kill,
You know I've seen a lot of people walking around with tombstones in their eyes,

But the Pusher don't care if you live or you die,
He wants to see you explode, just like the fourth of July,
He'll throw out the bait and watch the suckers come swimming,
On the way to the bank you can see him grinning,


The Pusher is a man with a gun in his hand,
He wants to hold you to the ground make you a one night stand,
He'll suck on your body, make your mind his prey,
And just like Dirty Harry you can make his day,

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man with a love for grass in his hand,
But the Pusher is a monster, he's not a natural man,
The dealer for a nickle gonna sell you lots of sweet dreams,

But the Pusher on your body laves your mind to scream,
He wants to see you running down a drug infested dream,
He'll take you down a road that you'll never survive,
You can hear the joker laughing as you try to stay alive,


The Pusher is a man with a gun ib his hand,
He wants to hold you to the ground make you a one night stand,
He'll suck on your body, make your mind his prey,
and just like Dirty Harry you can make his day,
