VERSE:

C                                             G                          Dm

A public service announcement followed me home the other day.

C                    G          Dm

I paid it never mind. Go Away.

C                                             G                               Dm

Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick-free Teflon whitewashed presidency.

C                                 G                      Dm

We're sick of being jerked around, wear that on your sleeve.

BRIDGE:

G                                               Am                    F                        G

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

Am      F             Em              G

We're sick of being jerked around we all fall down.

VERSE:

C                                   G                Dm

Have you ever seen the televised St. vitus subcommittee prize

C                     G                      Dm

Investigation dance? Those ants in pants glances.

C                            G                Dm

Well,look behind the eyes. It's a hallowed hollow anesthetized

C                                G                          Dm

"save my own ass, screw these guys" smoke and mirror lock down.

We're dug in deep the price is steep. The auctioneer is such a creep.

C                                   G                     Dm

The lights went out, the oil ran dry we blamed it on the other guy.

C                            G                          Dm

Sure, all men are created equal. Heres the church, heres the steeple.
