"The Pusher"
From: Steppenwolf: 16 greatest hits
By: Steppenwolf

March 26, 1996

You know I smoked a lot of grass.
Oh Lord! I popped a lot of pills.
But I've never touched nothin'
that my spirit could kill.
You know I've seen a lot of people walking 'round
with tombstones in their eyes.
But the pusher don't care
If you live or if you die.

God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! The pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
with a lump of grass in his hand.
But the pusher is a monster
not a natural man.
The dealer for nickel ought to sell you lots of sweet dreams.
Ah...but the pusher will ruin your body;
lord he'll leave your mind to scream.

God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! God damn the pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.

Well now if I were the president of this land
you know I'd declare total war on the pusher man.
I'd cut him if he stands and I'd shoot him if he run,
and I'd kill him with my bible and my razor and my gun....

GOD DAMN! The pusher
God damn the pusher.
I said God damn! God damn the pusher man!

Steppenwolf played their last concert in the legendary Fillmore East
in New York in 1972. They provided the youth of the late sixties and
early seventies with anthems and ballads which were an integral part
of the entire experience.

Called one of the greatest American bands in history, Steppenwolf was
comprised mostly of Canadians. John Kay (band leader), Jerry Edmonton
(drummer), Goldie McJohn (organist), were all Canadians.

The Pusher is written by Hoit Axton.
They were not all Canadians, John Key (Joachim F Krauledat) was born in
Tilsit in former DDR 1944 and left for Canada in 1958
