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
