Verses
A augmentedA E MajorE
Every Friday night in every town
BB D MajorD
the walls come crashing down
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
and the man falls to his knees.
A augmentedA E MajorE
And, when the breakdowns hit
BB D MajorD
the kids will go apeshit
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
and tear down society.
A augmentedA E MajorE
The singer's on the stage
BB D MajorD
with the spotlight on his rage
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
as we wave our timecards in the air.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
For one man's rebel rock is another's punching clock
A augmentedA E MajorE
the world is just pretending,
A augmentedA E MajorE
the world is just pretending
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
the world is just pretending to be scared.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
Yesterday's taboos were cashing checks for you-know-who
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
and there's G+GG Allin t-shirts in the mall.
A augmentedA E MajorE
But, we're so scared of losing face
BB D MajorD
in this faster, louder race,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
sometime's it's easier to just play ball.
A augmentedA E MajorE
So, up there in garageland
BB D MajorD
a hundred million garage bands
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
spend a hundred million hours in the lab.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
Something old, something new, but the same old 'fuck you.'
Breakdown/Chorus
(At first, just play fairly soft w/o strumming for first time playing this part of
the song. After first play through, just put more energy into it- strumming,
played faster; it's punk, do it how you want.)
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
We played it louder, but they laughed at us.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
We played it faster, but they were only acting scared.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
We raised our voices to the heavens in disgust.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
We put our souls through hell just to find them laughing there.
(After second play-through)
We played it louder, but they laughed at us. (So, what do we do now?)
We played it faster, but they were only acting scared. (So, what do we do now?)
We raised our voices to the heavens in disgust (So, what do we do now?)
We put our souls through hell just to find them laughing there. (So, what do we do now?)
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
So what do we do now?
(play however many times to end the song.)
