Question by BK: Can you tell me a song about drugs and/or alcohol?
Hi, I need a song that has to do with drug and/or alcohol abuse. I found the song “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse, but I don’t think it has that much to do with alcohol and drug abuse itself. Sure, it does, but I need a song that has a lot to do with alcohol and/or drug abuse. Can anyone tell me a song about drugs and/or alcohol abuse please? It can be any type a song. It just can’t have curse words in it. Thanks so much!
