Verse 1:

C#                 G#
  Red alert is the color of panic

C#         F#
  Elevated to the point of static

C#                 G#
  Beating into the hearts of the fanatics

        F#                      G#
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

C#                      G#
  Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming

C#                   F#
  And the welfare is asphyxiating

C#                  G#
  Mass confusion is all the new rage

         F#
And it's creating a feeding ground

G#
For the bottom feeders of

(Repeat Chorus) Verse 2:

C#               G#
  True sounds of maniacal laughter

C#                     F#
  And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir

C#                   G#
  The punchline is a natural disaster

         F#              G#
And it's sung by the unemployed

C#           G#
  Fight fire with a riot

C#                 F#
  The class war is hanging on a wire

C#
  Because the martyr 

   G#
is a compulsive liar

        F#
When he said "It's just

a bunch of niggers

G#
throwing gas into the"

(Repeat Chorus) Bridge:

C#                           G#/C
There's a disturbance on the oceanside

     Bbm               G#
They tapped into the reserve

F#                    Ebm     G#
  The static response is so unclear now

C#                G#/C
  Mayday, this is not a test!

Bbm                 G#
As the neighborhood burns

F#           Ebm    G#
  America is falling

G G#
    Vigilantes warning you

G G#
    Calling Christian and Gloria

Verse 1: Mike Dirnt the bassist sings here instead of Billie

        D         A
I'm the class of 13

       G         D
In the era of dissent

  D              A
A hostage of the soul

      G                A
On a strike to pay the rent

    D           A
The last of the rebels

    G            D
Without a common ground

    D             A
I'm gonna light a fire

  G      A    D
Into the underground well

Verse 2: Mike sings again

  D              A
I want to take a ride 

       G       D
to the great divide

  D               A
Beyond the "up to date"

        G         A
And the neo-gentrified

    D        A
The high definition for 

    G       D
the low resident

          D             A
Where the value of your mind

   G        A     D
Is not held in contempt

Verse 3: Still Mike Dirnt

D              A
I can hear the sound 

     G       D
of A beating heart

     D               A
That bleeds beyond a system

       G        A
That's falling apart

     D        A
With money to burn

     G       D
On a minimum wage

      D(hold)
Cause I don't give a shit

About the modern age (Repeat Chorus) Outro: Mass hysteria

D               A
I don't want to live 

       G      A
in the modern world

Mass hysteria

D               A
I don't want to live 

       G      A
in the modern world

Mass hysteria

D               A
I don't want to live 

       G      A
in the modern world

Mass hysteria (Repeat)
