	Story Behind the Song This theme comes from a song written by the craziest band I’ve ever seen perform on the San Francisco circuit. Fighting with members of the audience, arguing with one another during songs, and flaunting on-stage drug use, were common during their performances. I remember one tune,in particular: like a mantra they chanted, “Don’t you hate it when your drug dealer’s gone?” This is the song's lyrics in its entirety, and in its breadth. Occasionally they would vary the phrasing with the clever addition of the words, "like" or "fucking," i.e., “Like don’t you hate it when your fucking drug dealer’s like gone?” Opened the theme up a bit, I think. Lyrics You know I sure hate it when my drug dealers gone And he won’t take the time to return my call God, I can’t stand it when my mind is a mess And I’m doing my best to fight the withdrawal Well, I hate it when he’s gone Time seems to carry on Nah, it ain’t easy when your drug dealer’s gone Especially when he won’t take the time to return your call It’s not easy when I’m pacing the halls Anxiously awaiting for my dealer to call Frantic, excited, a school boy in love My wife gets suspicious that I’m seeing someone Calling him on the phone Paging him all day long Anyway you look at it, it’s not easy when your drug dealer’s gone Especially when he don’t return your call Preserving your hope by conserving your smoke In a place where the winds don’t play Relaxed with a joint your provoked by the point- The joint won’t last through the day if it’s burning away Lying in bed, eyes fixed on the wall Resigned to the fact that the dealer won’t call But it’s 3AM when he does call my home But the wife beats me to it and she screams in the phone No one’s home! Were asleep. (Do not hang up) Leave us alone it’s after three No it’s not easy when your drug dealer’s gone And you don’t know when he’ll return your call
