D                                 Bm
It's like the plague or the avian flu
D                                 Bm
Coming for me, oh it's coming for you
A                               G#m
It turns your will to live into goo
             G
It wears you down, down

That's how it gets you
D                                          Bm
It rots your brain, you stop brushing your teeth
D                                    Bm
Soon you feel like it's pointless to speak
A                                  G#m
Count the days 'til the end of the week
              G    N.C.

It makes you late. It makes you broke
D                                Bm
It makes you drink. It makes you smoke
A                                         G#m
Counting the ways, you're the butt of the joke
