G    B             C
I am below all the bullshit

G       B        C
let the pendulum swing

G       B             C
drive a boat like you stole it

      G      B       C
let’s grease up this hate machine

G          B            C
I’ve got a flare for theatrics,

G             B          C
it feels like punching a bruise.

G         B          C
I’ve been getting my ass kicked,

        G      B C
but I’m playing  to lose

    C*                  Cm*
the sock drawer they're snooping in

       G       B       C   Cm
is the bane of all our inhibitions

    C*
the dead horse

      Cm*
its a blood sport

                     G           Bm             Em
Yeah you can dig for pity in the hearts of your peers

   C             G                 Bm          Em
Or cover up your eyes and make the world disappear

        C
you can start a fire

    G           Bm          Em         C
but everybody's singing the same stale song

     G                 Bm         Em     C
"You gotta go along to get along"

G           B         C
this was as far as my plan went.

G          B         C
Smacked up against a wall

              G         B            C
it feels like I’m being punished for something

   G             B
by ‘good folks’

    C
(in scare quotes)

       C*        Cm*
in the sequel to politics

   G        B           C      Cm
"Unanswered Prayers and Crying Fits"

   C*
in free fall

  Cm*
into the chipper with it all

           G             Bm         Em        C
I couldn't really give a fuck about anything.

                 G               Bm           Em    C
I’m just blowing raspberries and circling the drain

G            Bm              Em           C
fucking with what’s right in front of me

                    G
no one can give you peace

           Bm        Em
no one can take it away

             C           G
yeah, we can build a new religion

        Bm        Em
write a new alphabet

C             G
I’m here justifying the future

       Bm         Em
not redeeming the dead,

   C                          G           Bm    Em    C  G  Bm
my father says, “you’ve gotta go along to get along”

      Em  C
and I do

G Bm Em C
