 is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
   A   G

A     D           Bm         G 
I was brain-dead, locked out, 
              A         D       
numb, not up to speed
Bm    E

dream

Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust
 is not the same as apathy"

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for 
a tooth
G                           A
You said that irony was the shackles
 of youth
D          A        D       G  
You wore a shirt of violent 
       A      A    G    A
green, uh-huh
D       A          D      G

frequency, uh-huh
