[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] Of all the words of mice and [Ebm] men, a sad star it might have been
Of all the words of mice and [E] men, a sad star _
[Abm] I like for my shoes to look like they've been walked in
My house to look like it's been lived in
My car [Ebm] to look like a coffin that's been driven off a cliff
[E] My career like a non-stop graveyard [Abm] shift
Don't dream the crime scene cause time means money
[Ebm] Don't need Fazzine when my eyes seem bloody
I see dead people, but who doesn't?
We walk [E] undercover, deadpan, blending in with other human puppets
Discussing nothing but the sports and weather
[Ebm] I stare long enough, they all walk together
And then I freak out, hair's blown my cover, so I just keep at
You know we don't know each other, mother rose to recovery
No GPS, keep poisoning my cells till the sea breeze rests
Suck wind if you wanna play your eight
Day [E] to day I use my fear of falling asleep
This day of week I appear psychic-like
But I'm not a [Ebm] psychic, it's just predictable
With no fight left to fight it
If you write it, they will [E] come
With a red pen and taser gun
[Abm] I like for my shoes to look like they've been walked [Ebm] in
My house to look like it's been lived in
My car [Eb] to look like a coffin that's been driven off a cliff [E] My career _ _ _
[Abm] I sift through the ashes in search of survivors
[Ebm] Digging up the earth, filling urns with dirt
For what it's worth, I'm richer than the cemetery [E] soil
Use land drilling to get my midnight oil
I've been moonlighting as a shade [Ebm] dreamer
I'm at the wheel of an eight-seater
Hey Mr.
Gatekeeper, call me keymaster No, homeowner
[E] _ One, two, and two to three and to the [Abm] foreclosure
They said the war was over, but we knew it [Ebm] wasn't
They wanted more souls, soupies and shaws
Fuck it, here's a fresh batch of people [E] with setbacks
And war folk are back to roll, roll, cause we're your dead tracks
[Eb] Pickin' up pockets of people that probably needed a system [Ebm] post
Sellin' them eyes, sellin' them out, sendin' them off to a distant coast
Sellin' them anything anyone left with a possible debt is resentful
[E] Breakin' a promise of negative [Ebm] worth, like what it is nothing is for [Abm] you
You get a bye-bye-bye to stay alive
They punish the payment delays, [Ebm] then they charge you for the low balance
Then they ask why didn't you stay, too long we took it on the chin
Too long we took it, you are great, [E] now we take what we can get
Fuckin' unlivable minimum wage, do something
[Abm] _ It might have been, [Ebm] _ _ _ it might have been
All the words of life's in [E] men, it's at a star
Tryna get [Abm] busy, _ chillin', chillin'
[Ebm] That's somethin' I'm not tryna get busy
_ _ _ Chillin', chillin', that's somethin' I'm not tryna get busy
Sometimes I shoot myself in the foot, I put my foot in my mouth
Clean it while it's there, and then I suck the bullet out
Reload the weapon, now that's conservation
[E] Stay locked and loaded in a bad conversation
You're [Abm] makin' blank statements like the surplus of your ammunition's [Ebm] finite
Visionary [Ab] nothin', you're a man who lives with hindsight
Return to the hive mind and call me back
I'm [E] predicting early that you'll be the Monday morning quarterback
[Abm] So, cocksure in a culture that gangs up on [Ebm] bully types
_ As if that isn't what a bully's like
_ Inspiration strikes like a [E] union, I write these lines just to cross them
I'm concluding if my mama don't want her, [Ebm] she never has to work again
You never asked me why I spread myself so thin
I'm standin' flirty, dirty with the pen, I put my tongue on its bottom
[E] I promise writers block it, never been a problem
I'll probably make the columns run up, hot bottles of pain relief
Sometimes it's what you don't say that says the most, to say the least
Idle feet of the devil's fetish club
A highly exclusive spot none of us are members of
_ We kicked them out the van, I steamrolled them
In 2010, we had a cult dream, stolen me and B.
Dolly
Relocked and [Abm] reloaded, but it feels like you're going through hell Keep going _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And as they say, [E] may the bridges that we burn light the way
[Abm] I like when my shoes still look like they been [Ebm] walked in
My house still look like it's been lifted
My heart could look like a coffin, it's been driven off a [E] cliff my career
A nonstop graveyard shift
I like when my shoes still look like they been [Ebm] walked in
My house still look like it's been lifted
My heart could look like a coffin, it's been driven off a [E] cliff my career
A nonstop graveyard shift
I like when my shoes still look like they been [Ebm] walked in
My house still look like it's been lifted
My heart could look like a coffin, it's been driven off a [E] cliff my career
_ Do [Abm] something, do it, do [Ebm] it, mess up my mind _
Do it, do [E] it, mess up my mind _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
