Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
        E
I can't tell you what's worse

            G
The message was terse

               E
Outright white supremecists

E
Or America first

G
I think they both sell merch

E                     G
The whole place seems a little bit cursed

          Asus2
It's like somebody might have been

C
Living here first
[Verse 2]
E                        G
Incels in cellars from a long line of failures

           E                      G
Underneath rumble umbrellas daily wire'ing with the fellas

        E
Chromag maga hate cave dwellers

            G
The tale is older than the tellers

            Asus2                 C
The tail is older than old yeller
[Verse 3]
    E
The internet is incarnate

    G
Manifested, given birth

             E
There's some spillage in a village

               G
Near where I'm living here on earth

       E
It's a disgrace to the natural state

            G
There ain't much that ain't

Hey Bill

        G
Hey Billy

Hey Sarah

      G
Hey Tom

              E                                             G
Everything is constantly unlike anything you've ever seen before

                                            E
Everything is greater than it's ever been before

E
Pardon the progress

        G
Hate is part of the process

             E
Catastrophic nostalgia

      G
And delusions of freedom

                   Asus2
I think we ate the last apple

       C
In the garden of Eden
[Chorus]
        E                      G
All the masks are off and they don't even try

               E
They know that you know that they know

         G
And they don't even mind it

        E
All the masks are off

            G
And they're getting lazy

               Asus2
They think yer so damn stupid

               C
They think yer so damn crazy
[Verse 5]
        E
Killing people from a distance in an instant

G
At the insistence of a president

             E                                                   G
With a black mail gun to his head for the fun that he had in the dark ages

          E
Pages and pages and pages and pages

G
They thought they'd get away with it

            E
The minimum wage is outraged with it

                       G
They're gonna burn somebody at the stake for it

             E
Fruit of the doom

E
Oranges and grapists

     G
Hold on to yer vapes kids

            E
Icicles and alligators

E
And blood traitors

              G
And purveyors of strange behaviors

                     E
And masqueraders and masked invaders

       G
Layers and layers and layers

   E
Be good to yer god

       G
And be good to yer bayer

         Asus2
Take yer aspirin and yer roundup

    C
And say all yer prayers
[Verse 6]
    E                           G
The loogie of factions that the nation has hacked

           E                            G
Is boiling and festering and stabbing itself in the back

            E
Who here is surprised by that

            G
Who here is blown aghast

       Asus2
If you wanna know the future

       C
Simply look into the past
[Chorus]
        E                      G
All the masks are off and they don't even try

               E
They know that you know that they know

         G
And they don't even mind it

        E
All the masks are off

            G
And they're getting lazy

               Asus2
They think yer so damn stupid

               C
They think yer so damn crazy
[Outro] E G E G E
