And The Damn Thing Bit Him

G Em G Em

(1, 2, 3, 4!)

[Verse]
G                                 
Throw the shutters down! Now, 
                 Em
honey, wipe the city clean.
Wooden matches and soda cans with 
    Am
kerosene.
Got a bad idea and an awful 
  C
position.

G                          Em
Back up, back up, no hesitation

Relay the news to the television 
station:
Am                                
People are stupid and easy to lie 
    C
to, still.

G
Get a job! Go to work!
Em
Wipe the sweat right off on your 
shirt.
Am                                
Black and white tunnel-vision 
                C
views for a new situation
G
So hats off to the person who can 
swallow the news
             Em
that you can have your pride, but 
you can swallow it too.
          Am
See, it's simple to swing yourself 
back and forth
C                   Eb D
again and again and again...

G
Consistency is what they call “suck 
city”
    Em
The debt grows deep and your life 
turns shitty.
Am
So fuck “making it work”
                    C
Circumspection is a notion reserved 
for jerks.
              G
My love was a race in the night by a
 blinding white moon,
    Em
But she got ripped to parts by a 
massive typhoon.
            Am
She says, “Success is joke in the 
nude
                        C       
and disappointment is a paycheck 
                Eb D
spent on food.”
