[Eb] [Gb] [Ebm] My mother told me lots of things [Gb] about the life we lead.

And don't you [Gb] talk no trash.
[Eb] And [Ebm] if you hear somebody dissing you, go over and [Gb] kick his ass.
[B] One thing is for certain.

I never tried to hurt the world.
I never [Gb] was troubled by greed.
[Ab] [Eb] We live on [Ebm] much like cannabis.
What more do [Gb] you want from me?
[B] All there is is one strong line.
[Bb] As far as we can find.
