Why does this remind me of that old Steppenwolf song, "The Pusher"?

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love bike in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your wallet
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

Apologies to Hoyt Axton
