What are some good songs about heroin abuse/addiction?

The entire Sixx A.M. album called "the Heroin Diaries"

Under The Bridge, Soul to Squeeze and Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hurt// by nine inch nails.. but i personally like the version by johhny cash because his voice makes it powerful and extremely emotional.

comfortably numb//pink floyd

fine again//seether

The needle and the spoon// lynyrd skynyrd--very 70's which makes sense, because drugs were quite often then

i would also check out superchick, christian band with a lot to say about modern struggles. Some of the songs I have listened to do make drug reference. I'm not a fan of christian, but honestly i cannot tell the difference between them and any other rock band. So even if you don't like christian i would advise you check them out.

Hope this helped (:

"Heroin"

by The Velvet Underground

Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers is one.

Mr. Tamborine Man by Bob Dylan sung by the Byrds. Just check out the lyrics.

Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crüe

Needle and the Damage Done-Neil Young

I was just about to ask the same question, you beat me to it!

my answer:

"A Horse With No Name" by America

"Cold Turkey" by John Lennon

It's mostly about the suffering he feels when he's trying to quit,.
