Start Jamming...
[B] [A]
[Ab] I'm going to sing a song called, I'm Going to Sing a Song.
Why did you set everybody free?
What you going to do about [A] me?
[C] [E] Don't want to be treated like some far grateful clown.
I'd rather go [G] back in the sweet underground.
[A] [C] [E] [Ab] I can feel the time by the color of my skin.
[Gb] And I know my neighbor, because he's the [G] one.
Is he the [E] one [A] who always turns [G] me in?
I run and work some time in the middle of the night.
Making up [Abm] every lost object [A] in sight.
[G]
[A] [E] Handbags, [F] toufets, my sexy fingernails, the black [D] pot, it [A] eats up all of me.
[G]
[A] [E] The chances are I've got no [Ebm] salvation, no regrets, no poop, no [A] pants,
no cigarettes, [Ab]
[E] just non-stop piss-smoke [Am] texts in the sexiness.
[C] There's no name, there's no name.
There's no name, there's no name.
There's no [B] name, there's no [C] name.
But the pain will cause you again and [A] again.
The [E] pain will cause you again and again.
The revolution forces [Ab] make movies of their own,
playing their [Fm] dog's records [A] every [G] tenth into the snow.
[A]
[C] [A] Trying to have a broadcast that [G] wasn't an authorized [Bb] incident,
but the revolution [G] will come.
[A]
[E] With [G] one head for business and another for good looks,
until [A] they started arriving with their [G] rubber aprons and their butcher's hooks.
[C] There's no name, [A] there's no name.
[C] There's no name, there's no name.
There's no name, there's no name.
But the pain will cause you again and [E] again.
The pain will [G] cause you [B] again and again.
[C] The world turns its down, you relive it,
it's [Am] like a handshake and double-talking procession of the mighty.
Shoot back at KV crew and come out after them,
a limousine of spinning stars and red-furred ants.
And a father who here wasn't that kind of a [A] babe,
that mopping up all her stubborn wads who just [Em] refused to be saved.
[Em] [C] Refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
[Am] [C] [Am] I [C] refused to be saved.
I refused to be saved.
I refused to [A] be saved.
