[C] Took a 60 [F] bus out of downtown [G] Campbell, [F] Bentonado
He was [C] on there, he was waiting for mail
While the pump [F] rocked us, and the mood [G] stopped us
The [F] crowd on the [C] corners were disparaging the champ
I started [F] thinking, you know I started [G] tricking
But I [F] don't really [C] remember too much of that deal
Something something [F] funny when we ran out of [G] money
[F] Where do you [C] go now when you're only 50?
[Bb] With a music [F] execution and a type of [G] revolution
Pretending, where'd it [C] go?
Give them the [F] fluke, the [G] roots, the [C] radicals
Give them the [F] fluke, you [G] know I'm a [C] radical
Give them the [F] fluke, the [G] roots, [C] I'm wrecking up my stereo
[G]
[C] The radio was [F] playing, and the techno was [G] singing
On the [F] 43 [C] bus, it's way time I'm leaving
I've been in [F] coven, and the rain came [G] slowing
And we [F] all talked [C] road, one love and all was wasted
Why even [F] bother, and you pick up the [G] bottle
And so [F] much trouble, [C] please let it sleep on
Rude girl, [F] care with a minute skirt, [G] girl
My [F] glory [C] bitch, it's all complete [Bb] wrong
With a music [F] execution and a type of [G] revolution
Pretending, where'd it [C] go?
Give them the [F] fluke, the [G] roots, the [C] radicals
Give them the fluke, you know I'm a radical
Give them the fluke, the roots, I'm wrecking up my stereo
[G]
[C] [N] [F] Yeah, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah, yeah
[Cm] [F]
[C] [F] Yeah, yeah, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah
[Cm] [F] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [Em] yeah
[G] Took [C] the 60 bus [F] out of town
So [G] Campbell Benson, [F] Otto, he was [C] on there
He was waiting for me, while the punk [F] rockers
And the moon [G] stompers were [F] out on the [C] corner
With a skirt, girl
The radio was [F] playing, and the techno was [G] singing
On the [F] 43 [C] bus, it's way time I'm leaving
Rude girl, [F] care with a minute skirt, [G] girl
My [F] glory [C] bitch, it's all complete [Bb] wrong
With a music [F] execution and a type of [G] revolution
Pretending, where'd it [C] go?
Give them the [F] fluke, the [G] roots, the [C] radicals
Give them the [F] fluke, you [G] know I'm a [C] radical
Give them the [F] fluke, the [G] roots, I'm [C] wrecking up my stereo
[G] Give [C] them [F] the fluke, the [G] roots, the [C] radicals
Give them the fluke, you know I'm a radical
Give them the fluke, the roots, I'm wrecking up my stereo
