 Shhh be qui--et, you might piss somebody off,

 Like me motherfuc--ker, you've been at it for too long,
 F5F5     D5D5 D#5D#5 D5D5     D#5D#5 F5F5
 While you feed off others insecurities,
    D5D5   D#5D#5 D5D5                D#5D#5 F5F5
 You stand in fro---nt of me and bite the hand that feeds,

                  (Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Chorus:
D5D5                     C/EC/E
 I've had enough it's time for something real,

 Don't respect the words you're speaking,
  A#5A#5      A5A5
 Gone too far, a clone,

Breakdown:
D5D5        D#5D#5        D5D5         D#5D#5      D5D5
 So how does it feel to know that someones kid in the heart of america,
            D#5D#5       D5D5
 Has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights,
                      D#5D#5          D5D5
 So you can maintain the lifestyle that insults this family's existance,
       D#5D#5    D5D5               D#5D#5     D5D5
 Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we aim high in the air,
        D#5D#5
 Towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers,
    D5D5 D#5D#5 D5D5 D#5D#5 D#5
 Fuck you!

Verse:
D5D5    D#5D#5 D5D5              D#5D#5
 Shh be qui--et, you might piss somebody off,
  F5F5    D5D5        D#5D#5 D5D5            D#5D#5 F5F5
 Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long,
       D5D5  D#5D#5 D5D5        D#5D#5 F5F5    D5D5    D#5D#5 D5D5
 I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy,
        D#5D#5 F5F5
 Collecting enemies,

Refrain:
D5D5  D#5D#5  D5D5     D#5D#5 F5F5  D5D5    D#5D#5 D5D5     D#5D#5 F5F5
 Tabloid gossip queen worthless man,
                 (There's no need for us to bury you)
D5D5  D#5D#5 D5D5   D#5D#5 F5F5 D5D5    D#5D#5 D5D5        D#5D#5  F5F5
 Selfish agenda once again,
            (Right this way, you've dug your own grave)

Breakdown:
D5D5           D#5D#5
 All the way from the east to the west,
    D5D5                      D#5D#5   D5D5
 We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation,
                          D#5D#5         D5D5
 Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems,
        D#5D#5       D5D5
 Pointing the fingers in every direction,
        D#5D#5            D5D5
 Blaming their own nation for who wins elections,
                    D#5D#5
 They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize,

Bridge:
   G5G5         C5C5
 Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue,
   F5F5        A#5A#5      A5A5
 Depictions we see, try and get through,
G#5G#5       D5D5    C5C5
 Admitting mistakes can hurt,
  D5D5           G5G5        C5C5 F5F5 A#5A#5 A5A5 G#5G#5 D5D5 C5C5 A5A5 D5D5 D#5D#5 D5D5
 I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first,

Interlude:

 Shh be qui--et, you might piss somebody off,

 (Self-righteousness is wearing thin)
                  Lies inside your head your bestfriend,
D5D5     D#5D#5  D5D5     D#5D#5 F5F5 D5D5   D#5D#5 D5D5       D#5D#5 F5F5
 (Heart bleeds but not for fellow man)
                  Broken glass, your fake reflection,

Coda:
D5D5                     C/EC/E
 I've had enough it's time for something real,

 I don't respect these words you speak,
  A#5A#5       A augmentedA   D5D5 C/EC/E A#5A#5 A5A5
 Gone too far, a clone,
