[Verse 1]
C Em
I won’t be like my father and I broke up with my mother
F C G C
I got tired of her kisses, tired of her smothering(s)
Em
around my fingers let me punch and fuck shit up the sight of
F C G
blood and bone and bruises makes me feel like I have woken up
C Em
To all the madness all around me I told you that you can count me
F C G
Out behind the house I’m getting high with just a soda can
C Em
A lighter and some pessimism a dalliance with anarchism
F C G
I think Sally loves me I am plotting our escape from here
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G F C
Just because they named me that don’t mean that they can tame me
F G
I will not renew my membership I’m done being an ambassador
C Em
For your lame brained PR campaign to vindicate the family name
F C G
You fear dirty laundry aired I fear livin and dying scared
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F G C C/B Am
Do not tell me I don’t know
F G C C/B Am
I got voices in my head
F G C C/B Am
They won’t shut up til I’m dead
F G C
But now all I see is red
[Verse 2]
C Em
I am drunk on whiskey I’ve heard good things about absinthe
F C G
Absence makes the heart grow fonder so I’ll go off to the yonder
C Em
Smoke it sniff it snort it drink it screw it punch it kick it lick it
F C G
If theres a feeling to be had don’t wanna die don’t wanna miss it
C Em
The more you wanna agitate the more I wanna masturbate
F C G
Jerks they’re fucking everywhere with purple smiles and perfect hair
C Em
I will steal their girlfriends I will also steal their Subarus
F C G
Throw my ass in prison I don’t care I’ll run the joint by noon
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F G C C/B Am
Do not tell me I don’t know
F G C C/B Am
I got voices in my head
F G C C/B Am
They will shut up when I’m dead
F G C
Until then I’m seeing red
[Verse 3]
C Em
You promised me wonders, glories, untold possibilities
F C G
If this is all that life is I’ve been sold a fucking lemon tree
C Em
The bitterness it stings and I’ve stopped trusting you or anyone
F C G
And I will burn your face off I’ve the power of a hundred suns
C Em
You would send me off to war you don’t care about me and my friends
F C G
We are all expendable, cannon fodder for your freedoms
C Em
Why’d you bring me here am I just supposed to buy until I die
F C G
To work and work and work and be a tiny man who eats and votes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G F C
Don’t tell me there’s no place for anger here I’ve watched your TV show
F G
Beneath upward mobility you’re seething with hostility
C Em
Infinite passive aggression low grade clinical depression
F C G
If that’s what life’s supposed to be I’ll say no thank you fuck you please
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Ohhh
F G C C/B Am
Do not tell me I don’t know
F G C C/B Am
I got voices in my head
F G C C/B Am
I will shut up when I’m dead
F G C C/B Am
Until then I’m seeing red
F G C C/B Am
But now all I see is red
F G
But now all I see is
[Break]
C Em
C Em
[Outro]
C Em
Here’s a golden apple
C Em
Here’s a golden apple
F C G
Here are some stories that might help you
C Em F G
Or not, no you are not the first you wont be the last
C Em
So eat this golden apple
C Em
Eat this golden apple
F G
The fire is meant to warm you
F G
The fire is meant to warm you
F G C
The fire is meant to warm you not burn the whole thing down
