Chords for Mike Ness Interview

I _ [F#] think it's [N] now close to 25 years of social distortion of your career.
Can you
tell us about your very important point in your career, musical wise or for you
personally? _
Well, _ [G#] you know, [C#m] there's been all, you know, it's like we had just
gradual [N] levels of success and I think that that's good for us because, you know,

of your personality, you know, it's not going to go away.
If anything, you know,
maybe when I'm 70 years old with a cane, you know, I'll be louder than ever and,
you know, more boisterous and more, you know, I don't know but I feel like it
never goes away and in the music it can't go away, [C#] you know.
It's just the
spirit of rebellion is social
