Throw the shutters down! Now, honey, wipe the city clean.
                                      Am
Wooden matches and soda cans with kerosene.
                              C
Got a bad idea and an awful position.

G                          Em
Back up, back up, no hesitation

Relay the news to the television station:
Am                                    C
People are stupid and easy to lie to, still.

Wipe the sweat right off on your shirt.

Verse:
G
Consistency is what they call “suck city”
    Em
The debt grows deep and your life turns shitty.

Circumspection is a notion reserved for jerks.

My love was a race in the night by a blinding white moon,
    Em
But she got ripped to parts by a massive typhoon.
            Am
She says, “Success is joke in the nude
                        C                       Eb D
and disappointment is a paycheck spent on food.”
