Intro:
F C
Verse 1:
F C
Any chimp can play human for a day
F C
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
F C
And run for office on election day
F C
Fancy himself a real decision maker
F C
And deploy more troops than salt in a shaker
F C
*salt shaker noises*
Chorus:
F G C
But it's a jungle when war is made
F G C
And you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy
F G C Am
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity
F
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing
G F
A smoking gun-holding ape
F C

Verse 2:
F C
Any asshole can open up a museum
F
Put all the things he loves on display
C
So everyone could see 'em
F C
The house, the car, a thoughtful wife
F C
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life
Chorus:
F G C
But if she blinks or smiles, she'll give you away
F G C
'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness
F G C Am
No one wants to pay to see her day-to-day
F
And I'm not buying it, either
G F
But I'll try sellin' it anyway
Verse 3:
F C
Any idiot can play Greek for a day
F C
And join a sorority or write a tragedy
F C
And articulate all that pain
F C
And maybe you will get paid
Chorus:
F G C
But it's a sin when success complains
F G C
And your writer's block, it don't mean shit
F G C Am
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks

Gotta write a hit, I think this is it
F
It's a hit
F C

Verse 4:
F C
Any fool can play executioner for a day
F C
And say, with fingers pointed in both directions
F C
"He went that-a-way
F C
It's only a switch or syringe
F C
I'm exempt from eternal sins"
F C
But you still wear a cross
F C F C
And you think you're gonna get in
Bridge:
F G C
Ah, but the pardons never come from upstairs
F G C
They're always a moment too late
F

It's justice, we're safe

It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah Published:
