Chords with lyrics

G#G#     BB  G#G#          F#F#
God what a mess, on the ladder of success
 E MajorE             F#F#          BB
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
G#G#   BB      G#G#    F#F#
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
 E MajorE             F#F#       BB
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten

E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE           F#F#
The daughters and the sons

G#G#       BB  G#G#       F#F#
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
 E MajorE           F#F#         BB
Elvis in the ground, waitin' on a beer tonight
G#G#     BB      G#G#     F#F#
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
 E MajorE              F#F#      BB
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten

E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE           F#F#
The daughters and the sons

(BB for 2 bars)

C#C#             E MajorE
Unwillingness to claim us, got no warrant to name us

(Solo)

G#G#        BB      G#G#        F#F#
The ones love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
 E MajorE             F#F#     BB
And visit their graves on holidays at best
G#G#        BB      G#G#         F#F#
The ones love us least are the ones we'll die to please
 E MajorE              F#F#            BB (Let ring)
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them

E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE              BB
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E MajorE              F#F#
The daughters and the sons
