Junkie, what you live for Junkie, you junkie Got a monkey on his back A craving nobody knows about Hopeless and dopeless, now that he's down and out Sicker than a dog again Suicidal, the smack ran out He found a dealer playing Russian Roulette The cure is worse than the disease He's long past caring if he dies He fills the needle, slams a shot, and then Squeezing the trigger, he closes his eyes... fire! Junkie, what you live for Junkie, you'll gladly die for A dope seeking missile Scoring and shooting all through the night Everyone knows that everyone runs 'outta-luck' Night yields the sky to the morning Time's up, he knew, so he said "Get High or Die!" and then he was dead The cure is worse than the disease He's long past caring if he dies He fills the needle, slams a shot, and then Squeezing the trigger, he closes his eyes Junkie, what you live for Junkie, you'll gladly die for Junkie, it's killing you It's killing me, can't you see Junkie You junkie Junkie Junkie J-j-junkie J-j-j-j-j-j-junkie
