My mama said to me
"You're gonna have your enemies"
"Don't beg, don't follow"
I've heard it all before
I smashed my fingers in the door
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

Junkies on a high
Get back, lay down, go low
Subdivision smile
Drink it in, dumb it down, suck it up

As we watch the world burn
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!"

Junkies on a high
Get back, lay down, go low
Subdivision smile
Drink it in, dumb it down, suck it up

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