[C]
[G] I'm gonna [C] steal some bed sheets [F] from an [C] amputee
I'm gonna mount them on a [G] canvas [D] in the middle of a [G] gallery
I'm [F] gonna tell [Fm] everybody [B] it [A] was painted [G] by a [D] chimpanzee
[Am] But just [Em] between you [D] and me, [G] here at the cultural low-water mark
If it's fraud or art, they'll pay [C] you to believe
I'm gonna take five young [F] dudes from white [C] families
I'm gonna mount them on a billboard [D] in the middle of the [G] country
I'm [F] gonna tell [Fm] everybody they sing [Am] like angels with whiter [D] teeth
But [Am] just [G] between you [D] and me, they're just [G] like the ones before
With their standards [B] low, another concert-goer will pay [C] you to believe
[F] Oh, caffeine in the morning, [C] alcohol at night
[F] Cameras to record you and [C] mirrors to recognize
And [E] as [Am] the world is getting smaller, [G]
small [D] things take up all your time
[Am] Narcissists would have had a field [G] day if [D] he could have got online
And friends, [G] it's not self-love that kills you
It's when [Am] those who hate you [Em] are [D] allowed to sell you
[G] That you're a glorious shit, the entire [Am] world revolves [D] around
And that you're [G] the eater, no, not the eaten
But that your [Am] hunger [Em] will only [D] cease
If you [G] come binge on radiant blandness at [Am] the [Em] disposable [Am] [D] fee
[F#] [F#m]
Just [Am] quickly, [F] how will you rate yourself?
In terms of sex appeal and cultural [Dm]
significance
[F] Do [A#] you usually [Gm] listen to [A#] music [C] like this?
[Fm] Can [A#] we recommend [Gm] some similar [A#]
[Fm] artists?
[Gm] Are you feeling depressed?
[G]
But your feedback's [F#] important to [Fm] us
[F]
[C] [G] Gonna buy [C] myself a sports [F] team and put them [C] in a pit
I'm gonna wage the old [C#] crusade [D] against [G] consciousness
All [F] I need's a [Fm] couple winners to [Am] get every loser [Em] to fight [D] in it
Keep the golden [Am] calf, just need the [D] bullshit
And they won't [G] just sell themselves into slavery
They'll get on their knees and pay you to [C] believe
[N]
