(Dave Pirner)





Intro: A augmentedA D MajorD

G+G         C majorC    G+G    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
Candy coated cannibalistic news flashed across the screen
    G+G           C majorC       G+G
Stay tuned we'll define what's wrong and what's right
    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
What's obscure and what's obscene

    C majorC           D MajorD
And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance
    G+G           C majorC
As his pants split right down the seam

    G+G       D MajorD
But if I ever get my break for God's sake
C majorC           G+G
I'm gonna make my break clean
    C majorC       D MajorD           G+G           C majorC
Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time I can beat down this dirty old scene
    G+G       D MajorD
But if I ever get my break
    C majorC       G+G
I'm gonna make my break clean

A augmentedA D MajorD

G+G                 C majorC     G+G
I've got bars on my windows and lines on my face
  C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
I can't compete in this race
G+G                 C majorC     G+G
I don't like it when she's on the street at night
    C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
She can barely go anyplace

    C majorC       D MajorD
And everybody wants control of her body,
      G+G           C majorC
and I'm hoping the choice might be me

    G+G      D MajorD
If I ever get my break for God's sake,
C majorC           G+G
I'm gonna make my break clean

G+G           D MajorD
If you ever give me a break
C majorC           G+G
I'm gonna make my break clean

Solo:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA 2x
C majorC D MajorD A augmentedA 2x

C majorC           D MajorD           G+G       C majorC
Shake me I've painted myself in the corner of an escape artist's dream
              D MajorD
And you know I believe it cause I just can't leave it
G+G             C majorC
I don't really know what it means

C majorC              D MajorD
I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt
G+G           C majorC
I'm fading as fast as my jeans

G+G       D MajorD
If I ever get my break for God's sake
C majorC           G+G
I'm gonna make my break clean
