I have an example that is sitting around already--"Mexicali Blues"
by the Grateful Dead.

It mentions the devil:  "Is there anything a man don't stand to lose/
If the Devil wants to take it all away."

Sex and drugs, too:  "Instead I've got a bottle, and a girl who's just
14."

And, of course, our hero is exiled for a murder."I drew first and shot
him/Lord, he didn't even draw."

Shows how easily you can put those pretty little tags on things.  Bet
all the best bands would be trying to see how many they could collect...
