VERSE:
D                D#                    F
  Teenage, had a rage for the nightime,
D                  D#                      F
  Spent my cash on every high I could find,
D                D#                  F
  Wasted time at every school in L.A.
D                         D#                      F
  Getting loose, I didn't care what the kids say...


CHORUS:
[A riff] [x2]
  We're white punks on dope,
[A riff] [x2]
  Mom and Dad live in Hollywood,
[A riff]           C                D
  Hang myself when I get enough rope,
D                 C
  Can't clean up, 'though I know I should!

A                F
  White punks on dope!
D                C
  White punks on dope!


VERSE:
Other dudes are living in the ghetto,
But born in Beverly Hills don't seem much better!


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
I'd go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich,
Have to score when I'd get that rich white punk itch,
Sounds real classy, living in a chateau
So lonely, all the other kids will never know.


[repeat CHORUS]


A                F
  White punks on dope!
D                C
  White punks on dope!


[repeat until you get bored]

[end on A]
