Note: The Pirates Charles say, "they say I drink whiskey, my money's my own" but James Brown is more honest about how the slave of King Heroin doesn't just use his own money, but everyone else's as well which is why he ends up becoming a thief and a jailbird, as Brown also notes. Moreover, the Pirates Charles say "if I get boozy my whiskey's my own, and men that don't like me can leave me alone" which sounds like depression, but then the addict seeks the high that makes him manic and he cannot leave anyone else alone. Which results in having to take tranquilizers indefinitely
