Dead Kennedys – Drug Me

"Drug Me" as written by Eric Reed Boucher, Raymond John Pepperelle, Geoffrey Lyall and Darren Henley....
I don't want to think, don't make me care, I want to melt in with the group
I need the balls to leap out of my shell and let go with my friends

Can't come up with anything I want to do I need a project I can finish my brain needs some stimulation

Drug me
Drug me
Drug me
Drug me

I'm so fucking tired, I gotta stay awake
I'm runnin' late I gotta make it through the day and make my time go by

TV and the stereo and girls are lots of fun
I want the max I relate better loaded, 'gotta see that movie stoned'

Drug me
Drug me
Drug me
Drug!

Drug me with natural vitamin C
Drug me with pharmaceutical speed
Drug me with your sleeping pills
Drug me with your crossword puzzles
Drug me with your magazines
Drug me with your fuck machines
With a fountain of fads, more rock and roll ads
Drug me, drug me, drug me-me-me

Finally off of work unwind and watch the ball game at the bar
Another potato chip weekend is here at last

Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away
Leave me alone so I can't see myself

Drug me
Drug me
Drug me
Drug me

    General CommentGimme an f, it's not about recreational drugs. It's a metaphor. Learn to spell against.

    General CommentTo me, this song is about people that does "what people are suppose to do" (or don't understand that society isn't healthy, and that it will never be healthy either). nowadays.. Go to work, make money, have a awesome-looking wife, a nice house and so on.. They just follow the streem, even if they can't/don't want to take the pressure of it all. Instead of saying "No, fuck this shit", they do about anything to just have other things to think of, (and get fanatic, or simply just need something to do, to be able to handle just anything) Drink, and take drugs just to remove the pressure for some hours forward. That's what i'm thinking.

    Drinking and doin' drugs are Ok for me, but what i'm simply tryin' to say is that people doesn't do things for fun anymore, just because time is so painful, and tries to remove the pain. And I find it kind of weak doin' drugs/drink just because you don't have the balls to say "No".

    General CommentYeah, it's about dependency on all the junk society throws at you . . . all the inane products advertised on TV. It's about what happens when your life is nothing but the things you own and the clubs your in.

    General CommentI think it's more about how adopting more passive habits stifles creativity. Rather than do something imaginitive or productive, the guy in the song keeps his brain 'busy' with drugs, both literal and metaphoric.

    General CommentNot sure what it REALLY means but here's what it means to me. First verse is about alcohol. Second is about weed. Third is about caffeine. Rest is about the metaphorical drugs of society. I'm pretty much addicted to all of the above so I like this song.

    General CommentI think it's all about weed. It could be for other drugs as well, but I feel that the ongoing weed metaphor is there.
    I agree with Wavin.
