Great song. It is obviously talking about drugs. The interesting thing is he’s not actually defending them (as most of the rock stars do sometimes). It talks about people trying to avoid their problems by getting high. And criticizing friends or relatives that turn their backs on you when you need them the most.
My favoutite bit:
Smile, it may take a while
But it's better than being nailed to the floor
Spit in their face if they stare while you're down
Don't reach out for that bad medicine.
