4 4 4 4 -3’ 4
(These) bastards stole their power
4 4 -3” 4 4 4 -3” 4 4 -3”
from the victims of the Us v. Them years,
4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 -3’ 3 -3” 3
Wrecking all things virtuous and tru-e
3 4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 -3” 4 4 -3”
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 4 3 4 -3” 3 -3” 4 -3”
lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool
3 -3’ -3’ 4 -3’ -3” 3 -3’ -3’ -3’ -3” 3 3
They hypnotized the summer, nineteen seventy nine
-3’ -3’ 4 4 -3” 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4
Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
wicked and able, media-ready,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Mega ultra power doesn't relax.
4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 4 4
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah
CHORUS:
-3” -3” -3” 4 5 4 -3” -3” -3” 4 5 4
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland
-3” -3” -3”
Yeah, yeah, yeah
-3” 4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 -3”
The information nation took their clues
4 4 4 -3” 4 4 -3”
from all the sound-bite gluttons
4444 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
1980, eighty four, eighty eight, ninety two too, too
4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 -3” 4 4 4 -3” 4 4 -3”
How to be what you can be, jump, jam junking your energies
4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 3 4 -3” 3 -3”
How to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoes
3 -3’ -3’ 4 -3’ -3” 3 -3’ -3’ -3’ -3” 3 3
They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy nine
-3’ -3’ 4 4 -3” 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass
44 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
TV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to report
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,
4 4 4 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this.
4 4 4 3
So fuck you, man
[REPEAT CHORUS]
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 -3” 3 4 4 4 4
If they wasn't there we would have created them. Maybe it's true,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 -3 -3 -3” -3 3
But I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blame
3 4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 -3” 4 4 4 4 4 4
I know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen venting,
-3” 4 4 4 4 -3’ 4 4 4 3 4 3
But I feel better having screamed. Don't y-o-u?
3 -3’ -3’ 4 -3’ -3” 3 -3’ -3’ -3’ -3” 3 3
They desecrate the winter, nineteen seventy nine
-3’ -3’ 4 4 -3” 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able,
4 4 4 4 4
media-ready,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 44 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Heartless, and labeled. Super US citizen, super achiever,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Mega ultra power doesn't relax.
4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 4 4
Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah
