Standard (EADGBE)

Where are all the stupid people from?

And how'd they get to be so dumb?

Bred on purple mountain range

 Feed amber waves of grains

 To lesser human beings, zero feelings

Blame it on

 Human nature, mans destiny (mans destiny)

Blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy)

 Fear of god

 The fear of change

 The fear of truth

Add the bill of rights, subtract the wrongs

There's no answers

Memorize and sing star spangled songs

When the questions

Aren't ever asked

 Is anybody learning from the past?

 We're living in united stagnation

Father what have I done?

 I took that 22

 A gift to me from you

 To bed with me each night

 Kept it clean

 Polished it well

 Cherished every cartridge, every shell

Down, by the creek, under brush, under dirt

 There's a carcass of my second kill

Down, by the park, under stone, under pine

 There's a carcass of my brother William

 Brother where, have you gone to?

 I swear, I never thought I could

I see so many times

 They told me to shoot straight

Don't pull the trigger, squeeze

 That will insure a kill

A kill is what you want

 A kill is why we breed

 The christians love their guns

 The church and nra

 Pray for their salvations

 Prey on the lower faiths

The story book's been read

 And every line believed

Curriculum's been set

 Logic is a threat

 Reason searched and seized

Jerry spent some time in Michigan

 A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime

 A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit

 A dime in california, a twenty dollar fine

Jerry only stayed a couple months

It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass

Asphyxiation is simple and fast

It beats seventeen fun years of being someones bitch

 Don't think (stay)

 Drink your wine (home)

 Watch the fire burn (be)

 His problems not mine (safe)

 Just be that model citizen

I wish I had a schilling

 For every senseless killing

 I'd buy a government

America's for sale

 And you can get a good deal on it

And make a healthy profit

 Or maybe, tear it apart

Start with assumption

That a million people are smart

Smarter than one

Weird rhythm

Serotonin's gone

 She gave up, drifted away

Sara fled, thought process gone

She left her answering machine on

The greeting left spoken sincere

Messages no one will ever hear

Ten thousand messages a day

 A million more transmissions lay

 Victims of the laissez faire

Ten thousand voices, a hundred guns

 A hundred decibels turns to one

 One bullet, one empty head

Now with serotonin gone

Eoctave with maj3 Eoctave Emaj3

The man who used to speak

 Performs a cute routine

Feel a little patronized

 Don't feel bad

 They found a way inside your head

 And you feel a bit misled

 It's not that they don't care, yeah

 The television's put a thought inside your head

Like a barry manilow, jingle

 I'd like, to teach the world to sing

 In perfect harmony

 A symphonic blank stare, yeah

It doesn't make you care (make you care)

Not designed to make you care (make you care)

They're betting you won't care (you won't...)

 Tough Bass (I just play chords) low E ring

Place a wager on your greed

 A wager on your pride

Why try to beat them when, a million others tried?

We are the whore

Intellectually spayed

We are the queer

Dysfunctionally raised

D string picked

5th fret G string picked

4th fret G string picked

1st fret G string picked

One more pill to kill the pain

One more pill to kill the pain

One more pill to kill the pain

Living through conformity

One more prayer to keep me safe

One more prayer to keep us warm

One more prayer to keep us safe

There's gonna be a better place

Lost the battle, lost the war

 Lost the things worth living for

 Lost the will to win the fight

One more pill to kill the pain

Na na na na na

La na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

The going get tough, the tough get debt

Don't pay attention, pay the rent

Next of kins pay for your sins

A little faith should keep us safe

Save us

The human, existence

Is failing, resistance

Essential, the future

Written off, the odds are

Astronomically against us

Only moron and genius

Would fight a losing battle

Against the super ego

When giving in is so damn comforting

 And so we go, on with our lives

 We know the truth, but prefer lies

 Lies are simple, simple is bliss

 Why go against tradition when we can

 Admit defeat, live in decline

Be the victim of our own design

 The status quo, built on suspect

Why would anyone stick out their neck?

 Fellow members

 Club "we've got ours"

 I'd like to introduce you to our host

 He's got his, and I've got mine

 Meet the decline

We are the queer

We are the whore

Ammunition

In the class war

We are worker

We love our queen

We sacrifice

We're soilent green

We are the queer

We are the whore

Ammunition

In the class war
