Intro/Verse: G Gaug Em Gaug Bridge: G Gaug Em G7 Chorus: C Cm This counterculture's counting sheep content, we count along; italicize the z's but the breeze that carried it has waned stuck out at sea, ship sinking, oars stolen by charade campaigns (and don't expect to get them back) Treating people like they're dumb, manipulating them for fun, under that rhetoric they're scammers and they're scum and I can't take this anymore I'd run away, forget the things I fled and live alone inside my head but this status quo has got to end This fraud they call democracy enriches psychopaths, commends conspiracy those pigs in suits act out the common's tragedy while they sit at their thrones, speech never will be free (they're laughing while we lie in wait) Until dissent isn't a brand but common discourse and demand, we need a plan, not these red herring ropes of sand 'cos I can't take this anymore I'd run away, forget the things I fled and solipsize away instead but there's still some hope left to defend Our insincerity's a cancer, ground down, we're growing up mistaking empty words for answers to questions we don't ask enough Enough's enough, we're getting too old for this stuff the bricks that make this wall are tough, but if we break them down maybe we'll rise up.

Intro/Breaks: Em G Verse: G Em Cm G I been kept on two tight leashes, one in my brain, one held by leeches and a choke collar constructed out of chain-linked circumstances wound tightly around my neck, loose enough so I can clearly see my personality's being made up by someone other than me, some damn Society, some big ol' thang, unbound by land, tries to oppress with imaginary mass gravitating empty concepts of success putting all of us in our place, we mistake our chains for happiness; swallow more pills, eat up, get dressed, buy once again into this mess This game's been fixed, been from the start; you audition for your favorite part, but you're never gonna get just what you want if you haul around that bleeding heart It's dog eat dog, better get your fill, 'cos if you won't another will; grab all you can, give out no gifts, keep running, don't look back until Misanthropy is closing in--sedate it, don't frustrate it, just lie to yourself: you always treat your neighbor with kindness and with trust; Life's an absurdity, free will's no solace, bite the bullet so you have less problems, strap right on those puppet strings, turn off the switch, give into them

Verse: G C G C G Bm Em C D G Chorus: C G C G C G Bm Em C D G I have been making presentations for a final escalation I have been praying to the god of giving up she says "lock the door behind you now 'fore the criminals and the cops break in your house." Oh I have worked so hard for a place where I can die but the winners up there of high-end living won't allow the broken insane to arise So fuck this city, fuck this job they break you down before you even reach the top in a God-fearing land there ain't no lodging for the mad you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown I'm gonna go back to that factory where they make moving parts and I will take you very far away in the flash of a pack of matches I will be gone So fuck this city, fuck this job they break you down before you even reach the top in a God-fearing land there ain't no lodging for the mad you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown
