[F] [C] [F] [C] [Bb]
[C] [F] I [C] published a mis [Bb]-announcement, followed me home the other day
[C] I [F] paid [C] it, never mind, [Gm]
go away
[F] Shit [C] so thick you can stare with a stick, [Bb] free Teflon whitewash [C] presidency
[F] We're sick [C] of being jerked around, [Gm] without honestly

[F] Have you ever [C] seen the [Bb] televised invited sub-committee [F] prize
[C] Investigation dance, [Gm] those ants in pants glances [F] as I look [C] behind the eyes
It's [Bb] a hell of a hollow [F] anesthetize, save [C] my own ass, screw these [Gm] guys
Smoke and beer lock [C] down, broadcast me a joyful [Dm] noise

Lights went [C] out, the hour hand [Gm] tried, we blamed it on the other guy
[F] [C] Sure all men are created [Bb] equal, here's the church, [C] here's the [F] steeple
We stay [C] tuned, we catch the [Gm] sequel, ashes, [G] ashes, we all fall [C] down
