Intro:

FF C majorC


Verse 1:

FF          C majorC
Any chimp can play human for a day
      FF              C majorC
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
   FF          C majorC
And run for office on election day
FF            C majorC
Fancy himself a real decision maker
   FF           C majorC
And deploy more troops than salt in a shaker

FF C majorC
*salt shaker noises*

Chorus:

       FF     G+G   C majorC
But it's a jungle when war is made
       FF          G+G        C majorC
And you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy
   FF      G+G         C majorC   A minorAm
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity
        FF
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing
  G+G          FF
A augmentedA smoking gun-holding ape

FF C majorC
Trumpet riff:


Verse 2:

FF          C majorC
Any asshole can open up a museum
       FF
Put all the things he loves on display
   C majorC
So everyone could see 'em
   FF              C majorC
The house, the car, a thoughtful wife
FF             C majorC
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life


Chorus:

       FF            G+G    C majorC
But if she blinks or smiles, she'll give you away
    FF        G+G         C majorC
'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness
FF        G+G       C majorC   A minorAm
No one wants to pay to see her day-to-day
       FF
And I'm not buying it, either
        G+G       FF
But I'll try sellin' it anyway


Verse 3:

FF          C majorC
Any idiot can play Greek for a day
       FF          C majorC
And join a sorority or write a tragedy
    FF        C majorC
And articulate all that pain
   FF         C majorC
And maybe you will get paid


Chorus:

      FF     G+G    C majorC
But it's a sin when success complains
      FF      G+G       C majorC
And your writer's block, it don't mean shit
    FF          G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks
        FF          G+G
Gotta write a hit, I think this is it
    FF
It's a hit


FF C majorC
Trumpet riff:


       C majorC
And if it's not


Refrain:

       FF       C majorC
Then it's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
     FF       C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
     FF       C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
FF            C majorC  FF
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby


Verse 4:


FF           C majorC
Any fool can play executioner for a day
        FF         C majorC
And say, with fingers pointed in both directions
FF       C majorC
"He went that-a-way
    FF         C majorC
It's only a switch or syringe
   FF          C majorC
I'm exempt from eternal sins"
   FF         C majorC
But you still wear a cross
     FF          C majorC FF C majorC
And you think you're gonna get in


Bridge:

       FF       G+G     C majorC
Ah, but the pardons never come from upstairs
     FF     G+G    C majorC
They're always a moment too late
     FF
But it's entertainment, keep the crowd on their toes
       G+G
It's justice, we're safe
      FF       C majorC
It's not a hit, it's a holiday
FF            C majorC
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby


Refrain:

     FF      C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
     FF      C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
     FF      C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
     FF      C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
    FF       C majorC
I'm a holiday for a hanging
    FF       C majorC
I'm a holiday for a hanging
    FF    C majorC
I'm a holiday, yeah
    FF       C majorC
I'm a holiday for a hanging
    FF        G+G   C majorC
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
