Em            G
I used to get high for a living
D
Believing everything that I saw on my TV
C             Em
I used to get high for a living
D
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
Em            G
I used to get high for a living
D
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
C             Em
I used to get high for a living
D
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so

Em                G               D
Super size, large fries, big mac, coca cola
D
Go on man, pick your poison
Em           G
Speed, weed, ecstasy, LSD
     D
Man, it don't bother me cos we're all on something
Em        G
Caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol
             D
You know I'm clawing at the walls trying to get my fix
Em             G
Prozac, ADD tablets, coke, smack
D
Now you know I am turning tricks cos

Em            G
I used to get high for a living
D
Believing everything that I saw on my TV
C             Em
I used to get high for a living
D
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
Yeah, that they sold me

Em            G                  D
Escape, can't wait all trying to get away
D
From this place man that we're feeling
Em                G
Can't deal, can't feel what's real 
    D
All trying to conceal all this time we're stealing
Em            G
No doubt, the route you're on
      D
Can't find the clout that you've been needing
Em           G                  D
'Til then my friend you must contend
D
With the monster that you're feeding

Em            G
I used to get high for a living
D
Believing everything that I saw on my TV
C             Em
I used to get high for a living

There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so

Em               G
Got links of the cheney
                       D
Getting crazy, getting lazy with their foreign relations
Em                     G
Starting wars, closing doors
                      D
Trying to bring about one quicker, man, revelations
Em       G                               D
Economic rational calling fouls with the workers
D
Just trying to make it pay
Em                 G
Cost cutting, head butting
                D
Big business do what they like and you do what they say
Em               G                           D
What's wrong get along, just prolong all the thoughts
D
You got going on, on the inside
Em                G                 D
Appease, stand at ease, just try to please
D
All the apathy that you're trying to hide
Em            G
How now brown cow
           D
Did we get from this standing place and now we're kneeling
Em           G               D
'Til then my friend you must contend with the monster that you're feeding

Em            G
I used to get high for a living
D
Believing everything that I saw on my TV
C             Em
I used to get high for a living
