Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers and we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)

We take all kind of pills that give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we never know

I got a freaky old lady, name of Cocaine Katy, who embroideries on my jeans

I got my poor old, grey-haired daddy drivin' my limousine

Now, it's all designed to blow our minds, but our minds won't really be blown
         E                                                                         A

We got a lot of teenage blue-eyed groupies who'll do anything we say
                                   E7                   A
We got a genuine Indian guru, he's teachin' us a better way
                                                                   D
We got all the friends that money can buy, so we never have to be alone
       E                                                                            A
