[D] Skimbo.
[E] [A]
[E] Arabia Mountain is the title of our album.
A vice.
It's a place [A] in Georgia called Arabia Mountain.
It's [B] not really a mountain.
[D] We went there to watch the sunset,
[B] and nothing's ever really happened there.
It's just called Arabia Mountain.
[E] I wonder why.
I don't know.
Pet [A] Sematary 2 or something.
[B] [D] This good record is [B] 16 songs.
[F] Half of it is done by Mark Ronson.
[B] I mean, we do everything.
We are always self-producing our own shit,
but we wanted to just bring someone in,
[E] you know, just to see what would happen.
[D] I don't know.
Magic happen, basically.
[G] Yeah.
I really think [A] on this record, you'll [B] hear us,
but you can bump it in the club.
And I mean that with a [A] rock and roll side of things.
We'll show up in a club, [F#] and they want to be cool,
and put [B] on our record.
It sounds [D] like shit, man.
It clears [Em] the dance floor every time.
It clears the dance floor every [G#m] fucking time.
You can't dance to us.
You can't.
You can't [B] mosh and like fall over.
You can't smash cans on your head and have a good [Em] time.
I mean, we are entertainers.
[A] Musicians sell us guitar strings at guitar stores.
[D] We're entertainers.
[A] [E]
Headline, Schmedline.
[A] We did an act of indecency,
and the punishment for that in India is four [B] years in prison.
[D] So at which point, our promoter was [B] like,
I think they might be calling the cops.
We can A, wait and see if they're going to come,
or B, get the hell out of the state of Tamil
and the jurisdiction of the state of Tamil.
[A] So we took plan B.
[E] The question that people have is,
would you really [A] have gone to prison?
So we heard.
Me and him make [E] out.
I like chicks, but you know on stage, it's fun.
Yeah.
[A] And that ain't [B] cool.
And if somebody doesn't believe us,
I [D] ask you to go on Google
[A] and look up a guy named Richard Gere.
And don't look up the mouse in the [F#] ass.
I'm talking about when he [Em] kissed a Bollywood actress [E] in India.
And look what happened.
[A] How fast did his ass get out of that country?
Now [D] imagine in a public space with two men.
[A] [E]
[B] We are professional amateurs,
so we've thrived on being [G] sloppy and not being good.
I call it the art [B] of deconstruction.
With all this shit that's [Em] out there,
and the way digital recording [E] mediums,
and things are just so easy.
I like [B] the challenge.
I like playing with cheap shit and analog [D] tape.
Because it makes you [B] think.
And you can't just punch in when it comes to recording.
[E] Everyone's digital, it's like, fix that.
No, [A] imperfections are perfections.
[B] I like when a cheap guitar makes me hit a wrong fucking note
and I just hit the wrong note and let it Ride it.
Yeah, ride it, man.
I don't think we'll ever [Am] be famous,
but we're already [B] on our way to being infamous.
And I'll take that shit any day.
[A] We ain't no haircut band.
[D#] We live real deal.
Life's [G] not perfect.
If you want that real, we got that.
If you want polish, don't come see us.
