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 
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 
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 
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
