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.)
