Ideas don't matter, _ [F] it's who you _ _ know
_ _ [G] _
[Gb] If the [F] _ music's gotten [Db]
boring, it's [G] because [Bb] of the [G]
people
[F] Who want everyone [Db] to [Dm] sound [G] the [F] same
_ [G]
Who drive the bright _ people out of our so-called [G]
scene
Till all [Bb] that's left is just a [C] bleeding _ [G] list _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] I'm the one wearing the [A] dark hair, [D] _ [E] maybe carrying on what we [A] are
_ [D] _ _ [E] Is this the state of [A]
mind?
[D] _ [E] I guess I'm out of [A] labor
_ [D] The [E] night has a little turn of [A] it, _ [D] _ [E] I have to cut it down to [A] say

depression [D] and greed

_ _ _ Harder core than [F]
vow for a year or two
_ Then it's time to get [F] a real _ _ job

_ [G] _ _ [Gb] When the thugs form [D] bands, look [G] who gets [Bb] record _ [G] deals
[F] From New York metal labels [Dm] looking [Gb] to _ [G]
[G] scam

suit
[D] _ [E] More in the coming [A] four, _ [D] _ [E] too many practices and _ [A]
recirculation
[D] _ [E] And we lose our sound every [A] day, so we won't [D] have to pay [E] anything
The kind of attitude [A] that makes us [D] think of what, [E] yeah, who's rapping
[A] One [D] love, love, [E] what's wrong with rapping, [A] seems like death from all [D] the hell
[E] So we gotta sleep, [A] remember [D] that dream

_ [D] _ [E] Apple-battles get the point [A]
race
[D] Let [E] the music shake your [A] brain, _ [D] _ _ [E] now you can think [A] of
_ _ [E] Not foolish, just a dozer with [A] a lack of [D] ideas
[E] Maybe what we need are more [A] corporate or the [D] free
Or [E] a metalhead finally [A]
[D] learns the things
Where [E] we're pressed, so we're directed, [A]
hey, yeah

_ [C] The [A] 60s were no failure, [D] the [A] 70s sucked
At the clock, shit, we did the [D] same, [A] oh
The [C] music's insane, real life, don't get rid of the fog
Pour that lemonade, [A]
break the brain down the back
[C] It got [A] real shake, shake [D] the time, and [A] work the shake
