Verse 1:
AWell you run down to the corner baby, Dsee what you can cop
AYou get some for your sister and Eyou take yours off the top
ARun into the bathroom, Dfixing up a shot
E7Tie it up, shoot it up, bang your head, and throw it up
Chorus:
AToo much Djunkie business
AToo much Ejunkie business
AToo much Djunkie business
EI don't wanna fuck around with you
Verse 2:
AYour life becomes as sickening as Dthat mess you call your face
AThe pig  you call your girlfriend Eis dead from shooting mace
AClimbing up the walls, Dyou shot some old moth balls
EWrap it up, call it art, now your record makes the chart
Chorus
Repeat Intro
Bridge:
AToo much junk, Dtoo much junk,
AToo much junk, Etoo much junk,
AToo much junk, Dtoo much junk,
 E( E7second time thru)
I don't wanna see her hanging out with you
Repeat Intro
Verse 3:
AWell you're the coolest thing in town, Dwith your face flat on the ground
AFriends went through your pockets Eas the coffin went down
AYou overdosed at last, Dspike stuck in your head
E7Now you're dead...dead! dead! dead!
Bridge
