This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Over indulgence in substance you require

To settle down, to feel sane, the hit is in your mind

Veins pumping, eyes lost, hideous life of pain

It hates you now, the joy is gone, death crime insane

Drug free body, you must decide

Drug free body, beware the toxic shock

A life of compulsion, excessive in every way

No moderation, more sensation, feelings inside your brain

Young bodies may take it, but age will tell the toll

Satan plans to kill you young, possession growing strong
