No Picture Ryan Wanna Be	#1 by Ryan Ell at Aug 12, 2006 at 11:45 PM EST
	Why would this song be about cocaine, its obvoisly talking about using a needle and shooting up, "pulling out your poisoned fangs". I say it's about heroine, not a chick because of the title, Poison Was The Cure

No Picture HereWeGo Wanna Be	#2 by HereWeGo at Sep 3, 2006 at 3:19 PM EST
	it's either about drugs or women

No Picture Skinny Fingures Average	#3 by Skinny Fingures O'Brian at Apr 10, 2007 at 5:37 AM EST
	The actual song content seems to be about herion and how fast it hooked him but I think the name itself relates to methadone being the poison used to cure herion addiction/overdose.

No Picture Herold Wanna Be	#4 by Herold Beddingfield at Aug 20, 2007 at 10:10 AM EST
	Could very easily be comparing heroin to a woman, although probably not all women...

No Picture jake Average	#5 by jake bauter at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:43 AM EST
