Discover the story of the song > The Pusher – Steppenwolf

The song is about a person (he) who has tried drugs but never anything that could harm his spirit. He has seen others who have been consumed by drugs and addiction, but the pusher who sells the drugs doesn't care about their wellbeing. The pusher is seen as a monster who ruins bodies and minds. The protagonist even says that if he was the president, he would declare total war on the pusher, even if it meant killing him with a Bible, razor, or gun.
