[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
[Verse 1]
Em Am Cain told Abel, "Brother, you'd better get busy Em Am We got watermelon burnin' up out there in the sun" Em Am Abel said, "Cain, brother, you're drivin' me silly Em Am Raisin' up this fruit trader bull, you know it ain't no fun"
[Chorus]
C D Am We're just yellin' in the dark C D Am We're just pissin' in the wind C D Am From underneath the sheets that we pray from C D Am Better let a little bit of this goodness get in
[Verse 2]
Em Am So Cain rose up and he slay his brother Em Am The human soul and violence sometimes can be the next of kin Em Am And feelings are real in moments of desperation Em Am When the lowest dimension of the animal is let in
[Chorus]
C D Am We're just yellin' in the dark C D Am We're just pissin' in the wind C D Am From underneath the sheets that we pray from C D C Better let a little bit of this goodness get in

[Verse 3]
Em Am Ain't got no purpose, ain't got no direction, I ain't got no morals Em Am Ain't got no politics, ain't got no particular point of view Em Am What I've got is plenty of time on my hands, Ol' Skinny's playground Em Am Hey, Lord, tell me again, what you want me to do?
[Chorus]
C D Am We're just yellin' in the dark C D Am We're just pissin' in the wind C D Am From underneath the sheets that we pray from C D Better let a little bit of this beauty C D Em Better let a little bit of this goodness get in
[Outro]
Am Em Am Em
