E
[Verse 1]
E
Now once upon a time
A
In this village of the damned
B
I took my shot at greatness
A E
And the goddamn gun was jammed
A
So I'm in a drunken state
E
'Cause I can't take life straight
B A
And if I dull my eyes enough
E A E
The brightness fades
[Verse 2]
E
I left my heart in San Francisco
A
And my brain in Los Angeles
B
My heart just made me bitter
A E
And my brain just made me dangerous
A
I don't miss either one
E
But I look into the sun
B
And I'd give anything
A E A E
For one good pair of shades
[Chorus]
A
The world is a wasteland
E
From Green Bay to Graceland
B
There's no one fit
A E A E
To lead the human race
A
And you all know what we are
E
The throwbacks, the retards
B A E A E
The ever growing face of human waste
[Verse 3]
E
I first fell off the wagon
A
On the open road to nowhere
B
And I guess I'd still be draggin'
A E
If I thought that I could go there
A
And return to sing this song
E
But I knew all along
B
It's a one-way trip
A E A E
And I can't pay the fare
[Verse 4]
A
All my heroes are gone
E
And their figures cast in lead
B
From the fountains at their feet
A E
To the bird shit on their head
A
And I can't help but wonder
E
As they lay six feet under
B
Did they die for me
A E A E
Or did they even care?
[Chorus]
A
The world is a wasteland
E
From Green Bay to Graceland
B
There's no one fit
A E A E
To lead the human race
A
And you all know what we are
E
The throwbacks, the retards
B A E A E
The ever growing face of human waste
[Outro]
B A E A E
The ever growing face of human waste
B A E A E
The ever growing face of human waste
