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
Trumpet riff:


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


F C
Trumpet riff:


             C
And if it's not


Refrain:

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


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
But it's entertainment, keep the crowd on their toes
             G
It's justice, we're safe
            F             C
It's not a hit, it's a holiday
F                       C
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby


Refrain:

          F            C
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
          F            C
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
          F            C
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
          F            C
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
        F             C
I'm a holiday for a hanging
        F             C
I'm a holiday for a hanging
        F       C
I'm a holiday, yeah
        F             C
I'm a holiday for a hanging
        F               G      C
It's a holiday for a hanging, yeah
