The title and hook (as well as somewhat musically) sounds like it might have been inspired by George Jones' 1959 rockabilly hit 'White Lightning', which is about moonshine.
Changing the meaning to a certain different kind of drug (heroine/amphetamines), it is performed appropriately more punk and faster.
I'm actually a bit surprised that this connection has apparently never been made before.
@terrycraig Thank you, that is fantastic and I discovered a fantastic singer/artist whom I hadn't heard of before. I will give you one. Watch 'Chinatown' and think of 'Blade Runner'

@terrycraig had been ages since I’d heard White Lightnin’, I was ready to call ‘bullshit’ as it began, but I believe you may have something here.
