picture yourself [Am] in a living room, your piping slip is [G] set out for you, I know you think
[F#m] that it ain't too far, [Em] but I, I hear a call [C] on a laptop ring, about the [G] need to get up
for air, but I already caught [A] up with that old man, [Bm]
you're creeping in that old [C] man,
you got no time [G] for the messenger, [C] got no record [D] for the thing [G] that you don't [C] understand,
you got no fear [Bm] of the underdog, [D] that's why you will [G] not survive, [D] [G] [C]
