[VERSE]
C/G          F      G
I was living on the hill,
                       F      C/G
By the water tower and hiking trails,
                         F      G
When the big one hit I’d have a seat,
                                        F        C/G
To watch masters abandon their dogs and dogs run free,
Em          Bdim7   Am
O baby it’s time to leave,
         G                          F   C/G
Take the van and the hearse down to New Orleans,
Em                          Bdim7     Am
Leave under the gaze of the billboard queens,
        G                              F         C/G
5 foot chicks with parted lips selling sweatshop jeans.


C/G                        F        G
These A  phonies and their bullshit bands,
                            F   C/G
Sound like dollar signs and Amy Grant,
                                       F     G
So reads the pulled quote from my last cover piece,
                            F         C/G
Entitled "The Oldest Man in Folk Rock Speaks”
Em                           Bdim7   Am
You can hear it all over the airwaves,
    G                        F     C/G
The manufactured gasp of the final days,
               Em                            Bdim7      Am
Someone should tell them ‘bout the time that they don’t have,
              G                       F        C/G
To praise the glorious future and the hopeless past.
