How To Be Dumb

G
I was hell-bent on destroying my 
powers of concentration
  D
While you were living like a saint
G
And all the time the very one you 
trusted
      Em                       
Was washing off somebody else's 
  Bm
paint

G
Now you've got yourself a brand new 
occupation
  D
Every fleeting thought is a pearl
        G
And beautiful people stampede 
through the doorway of
      Em                    Bm
The funniest fucker of the world

F
They're here to help you
Dm             Bm
Satisfy your desire
                       C           
There's a bright future for all you
                G
 professional liars

              C         D
Now you know how to be dumb
          G                  C
Are you ready to take your place in
     G/B          D
The modern museum of mistakes?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
          G                  C
Like a building thrown up overnight
   G/B             D
In one of those reverse earthquakes

G
They emptied out all the asylums,
D
They emptied out all the goals
G
The "New Bruise" was the name of the
 dance craze
     Em                        Bm
By "Jesus Cross and the Cruel Nails"

G
Followed up by "Tortouzring Little 
Beaver"
 D
With their contraption of barbed 
wire
G
Between the fear and the fever lies
Em                        Bm
All the  rejection they require

F
They'll be howling by midnight,
Dm                      Bm
They'll be drooling by dawn
Skulls shrunk down to the size of 
        C
their brains
                   G
Heads shaven and shorn

              C         D
Now you know how to be dumb
          G                  C
Are you ready to take your place in
     G/B          D
The modern museum of mistakes?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
          G                  C
Like a building thrown up overnight
   G/B             D
In one of those reverse earthquakes

  Em
Trapped in the house of the 
Perpetual Sucker
          C                    
Where bitterness always ends so 
   D
pityful
Em
You always had to dress up your envy
 in
 C                       D
Some half-remembered philosophy

 G
Now you're masquerading as pale 
powdered genius
       D
Whose every bad intention has been 
purged
G
You could've walked out any time you
 wanted
     Em                        
But face it you didn't have the 
   Bm
courage
G
I guess that makes you a full time 
hypocrite
    D
Or some kind of twisted dilletante
  G
Funny though people don't usually 
get so ugly
           Em                      
'Til they think they know what they
  Bm
 want

F
Scratch you own head stupid
Dm
Count up to three
Bm                 C
Roll over on your back
             G
Repeat after me

                C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb
          G                  C
Are you ready to take your place in
     G/B          D
The modern museum of mistakes?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
          G                  C
Like a building thrown up overnight
   G/B             D
In one of those reverse earthquakes

G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
G               C         D
Don't you know how to be dumb?
