Start Jamming...
Your great [Db]-grandfather [Eb]
was a great lawyer, [Ab] and his kid [Eb] made amends [Ab] after the war.
Your father [Eb] shot [Ab] stills and then directed films that [Db] your mom did [Ab] publicity for.
I [Eb] saw your oldest sis [Db] on the year's best book list, [Ab] and your brother, he manages [Eb] best.
And you're keen to downplay, but [Db] you're quick to betray, with [Ab] one well-turned-out wave of [Eb] your head.
You come [Ab]
well, and you got well.
[Db] What a bitch [Eb] that'd give you a chance.
I heard cuts by the kinks [Ab] on your speakers.
I saw coal in [Eb] our toe on your [Ab] shelves.
While [Ab] the last laughs were seen on your flat panel screen [Db] lit Chanel [Eb] that you wrapped [Ab] around yourself.
[Eb] You got outsider art by an [Db] artist who [Ab] arguably kidnapped to get on the [Eb] wall.
Your designers have slyly [Db] directed the odd-out [Ab] two lines in your well [Eb]-lit pop.
You [Ab] got taste, you got taste.
What [Db] a waste, [Eb] that's all [Ab] that you have.
[Eb]
I [Db] wrote your thesis [Eb] on the Gospel [Ab] of Thomas, shot some [Eb] reversal [Ab] filmmaker wife.
And this book you once read said there's less people dead at this [Db] point now than [Ab] those who are not.
And [Eb] this film we once saw was [Db] reviled for its flaws, but [Ab] its flaws were what made us [Eb] have fun.
And the life some folks had [Db] might have made us feel bad.
Why [Ab] feel bad, man?
It's nothing you've [Eb] done.
It's all in your hand.
It's all in your hand.
[Db] Like a gun, like a globe, like [Ab] a gram.
[Eb]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] And this thing you once said [Db] disappeared from my head in [Ab] the time that it took to be [Eb] amazed.
And this thing you once did [Db] might have dazzled the kids, but [Ab] the kids once grown up are gonna [Eb] walk away.
And [Db] your world [Eb] is gonna [Ab] change nothing.
[Db] And your [Eb] world is gonna [Ab] change nothing.
[Db] And our [Eb] world is gonna [Ab] change nothing.
And [Db] our [Ab] world is gonna change nothing.
And our world is gonna change nothing.
