[Verse]

A
Primed so meticulous, stripped down 
to the nucleus
Of everything that sickened me 
                              E
before I started viewing this
      A
I've read it in the glazed, painted 
vacant gaze of this shell of a human
 before me
              E              
We thank the lord for the ego 
   B                   A
afforded the shallow now
              A/G#             
Such handsome propaganda, truly 
  A                  F#m
business accused of show
             A                     
And they're cuing the applause sign
  A/G#   E
 now

[Chorus]

A                        C#m
Pretty little casualties
    A
in temporary tragedies
E                         A
Born from the same place self-doubt 
grows
C#m                   A
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready 
pose
  B                       A
Around here "diva" ain't much of a 
compliment

[Verse]

     A
Celebrate the undiscerning, don't 
question what you're learning
Crank the violin 'cause Rome is 
                    E
fucking burning now
A
Culture shown in effigy presented as
 "celebrity" like tiny vultures 
crying out "believe me!"
     E                          
But careful there, honey, 'cause 
  B                         A
your roots are showing now
              A/G#             
Such handsome propaganda, truly 
  A                  F#m
business accused of show
             A                     
And they're cuing the applause sign
  A/G#   E
 now

[Chorus]

A                        C#m
Pretty little casualties
    A
in temporary tragedies
E                         A
Born from the same place self-doubt 
grows
C#m                   A
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready 
pose
  B                       A
Around here "diva" ain't much of a 
compliment

        A                          
What a cherished myth of marketing
 E   A

A                  E            A
Propaganda with complexion so clear
A                        D       
Tomorrow's insecurities playfully
   A
 draped
        D                        
In the second-hand styles of next 
  E
year
             A                E  A
And it's so hard to look away
A                 E             A
Although somehow harder yet to stare
A                             
These picture perfect pawns are 
   D        A
salesmen now
      D                          
Like carpetbaggers shilling their 
  E
wares
       F#m                     D
And in reality I really don't care
'Cause asshole's a fashion that I 
 E                     A
never could afford to wear
