Em       G
My mama said to me
D              A            Em
"You're gonna have your enemies
           G     D    A
Don't beg don't follow"
Em            G
I've heard it all before
D             A              Em
I smashed my fingers in the door
        G     D        A
My downward spiral oh yeah

Rock 'n' roll tragedy
I think the next one could be me
Heaven's my rival
I sing in revelry
I got my own conspiracies
What hides in shadows? Oh yeah

Chorus:
G          D  Em
Junkies on a high
     C        G/B     Am
Get back lay down go low
G        D    Em
Subdivision smile
         C
Drink it in, dumb
    G           Bm
it down suck it up
                      Em  G D
As we watch the world burn
                 A    Em  G D A
As we watch the world burn

I'm not a soldier
This ain't no new world order
My path don't follow
My name is nobody
My pride is my pornography
Kool-Aid's my motto, "Oh yeah!"

Chorus

Oh yeah, burn (Junkies on a high)
As we watch the world burn (Junkies on a high)
Oh yeah
