The Tubes › Lyrics › White Punks on Dope

Teenage, had a race for the nighttime
Spent my cash on every high I could find
Wasted time in every school in L.A.
Gettin' loose, I didn't care what the kids say

We're white punks on dope
Mom and Dad moved to Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should

White punks on dope, white punks on dope
White punks on dope, white punks on dope

Other dudes are living in the ghetto
But born in Pacific Heights
Don't seem much betto

We're white punks on dope
Mom and Dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
I can't clean up, though I know I should

White punks on dope, white punks on dope
White punks on dope, white punks on dope

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

We're white punks on dope
Mom and Dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
I can't clean up, though I know I should

White punks on dope, white punks on dope
White punks on dope, white punks on dope
White punks on dope, white punks on dope
. . .
