I bet you twenty pounds if you knew

Ten years ago how pretty you'd turn out
           E
Then you'd never have gotten your ears pierced
      C#m                            E                 B
But I never got my ears pierced, and look how I turned out

And the last time that you tried listening to music
                                E
And reading fiction at the same time

You never finished the chapter
                     C#m
But you finished the song
                       E
With your chin on your knees like you belong

    E                   Em             B
And I never cared about Henry Rollins
 E              Em                      B
Amelia Fletcher never meant anything to me
        E             Em            B
But the International Tweexcore Underground
    C#m     E
Can save us all

            B
Getting the laptop fixed by a professional

Doesn't make me a pawn
    E
And stamping harder on your FX pedal
      C#m                      E
Won't make you feel any better any more
        B
Oh, you said, "We've gotta bite the hand that feeds"
                                     E
But I was sucking seductively on the fingertips of a civil servant
       C#m                              F#m
Said, "How're you gonna bring the state down
                        E
When you're propping it up?"

     F#          B
With daytime radio
    C#m              E
And skimmed milk and soppy bows
      F#                     B
Just 'cause you're scared to be alone

    E                   Em             B
And I never cared about Ian MacKaye
E              Em                      B
Calvin Johnson never meant anything to me
        E             Em            B
But the International Tweexcore Underground
    C#m     E
Can save us all

B G#m E

B         G#m               E
Ooh, this city is run by fucking pigs
B              G#m
Though you say you're my friend
       E                  B
You're not, you're one of them

    E                   Em            B
And I never cared about whatever
E             Em                      B
Sarah Records never meant anything to me
        E             Em             B
But the International Tweexcore Underground
     C#m     E
Will save us all
