Am                                                                                                              E  
well, i?m afraid that the circles i?ve been drinking myself
                                                                                                     Am                            G                      E  
aren?t big enough for the vowels that i try to fit inside of them.
Am  
when i was young, i drank too much,
                                E                                                                                                                                            Am  
and i?d be lying if i said i didn?t feel so goddamn young tonight 
                          G                                                                 E  
maybe too young to ask what?s on my mind.
F                                                         Am  
like: if freedom means doing what you want (well),
E                                                    Am  
don?t you gotta want something?
F                                                                            Am                                                                                      E  
and won?t you tell me that we want something more than just more beer?
and my friends, if that ain?t true, won?t you lie to me tonight?
Am                                                                                      E  
well, i?ve been listening to minor threat records all day,
and shit if i do not know every word.
Am            G                                    E  
i sing along as i tie off.
Am                                                                                                    E  
and ian screams he?s ?out of step? as i throw the cotton into the spoon, draw up into
the syringe.
Am                                                      G                                                 E  
i?ll know just what he means until i hit a vein.
F                                         Am                                                              E  
             Am  
but after that i won?t have to bother with knowing who i am, for a while at least.
F                                                      Am  
in a moment the whole world is gonna melt around me,
E  
and i?ll swear i don?t miss it as a i lie to you tonight.
C                              E                                            Am                            F  
because i?m afraid to look the world in the eye.
C                              E                                              Am                                      F  
if nothing?s gonna change, well, then i?d rather die.
C                                                                 E  
and i?m too unemployed to organize a union 
          Am                                    F  
i?m too intoxicated to tear down a building.
C                                                 E  
i?m too hopeless to look for a solution 
          Am  
i?m afraid that if i found one,
          F                                                                 C  
i?d be out of excuses for the way i waste away
                  E                                                                 Am                                                              F  
in the gutters that i chose like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes.
                          F  
i?m just lazy and i?m young.
Am                                                                                         E  
i?ve seen the best minds of my generation dying drunk or high from the rooftops to the
parking lots,
Am                                                 G                                              E  
stomped to death in west philadelphian squats.
Am                                                                                                              E  
they?ve got me waiting on a day when we can say ?fuck the police!? with a little bit of integrity,
Am                                                            G                                                                         E  
when it will mean: ?i?ve got your back if you?ve got mine!?
F                                                      Am                                                    E  
                        Am  
give me a scene where i believe in more than bad hair cuts, guilt, and misery.
F                                                                                              Am  
i don?t know where i fit between the vegans and the nihilists.
E  
that might be the first thing i?ve said that wasn?t a lie tonight.
                                                                  F  
because there?s gotta be something more than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming
at the constellations.
C                                                                            E                                                      Am  
                                F  
i want something more than an apology to say when i look the world in the eye.
                                                     C                                                                                      E  
i?ll tell you, man, my friend william came to me with a message of hope.
                Am                                                                    F  
it went: ?fuck you and everything that you think you know.
        C                                                                    E  
Am                      F  
if you don?t step outside the things that you believe they?re gonna kill you.?
                          C                                                                         E                                                                                 Am  
he said: ?no one?s gonna stop you from dying young, and miserable, and right,
                                                                     F  
but if you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.?
C                                                            E                                                              Am  
                                                                             F  
i thought about how for thousands of years there have been people who told us that
C                                                            E  
from jesus chris to the diggers,
                                          Am  
from malthus to zerzan,
                                             F  
from karl marx to huey newton,
                                                C                                 E                                 Am                              F  
but the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on x 3?
G                                                              F  
now, i?m not saying that we can?t change the world,
                     C                      E                                      Am                                 F  
because everybody does at least a little bit of that.
C                              E                            Am                                                         F  
but i won?t shit myself: the way i?m living is a temper tantrum
                                  F  
and i need something else, need something else, need something else to stay alive.
CE  Am  F  
(ohohoh.)
F                                                            Am                                                         E  
                                  Am  
and on the night that i play my last show, i?ll be singing so loud that my heart explodes.
F                                                              Am                                                         E  
and i?ll be singing, and i?ll be singing: we are free!
F                              Am                                                         E                                                              Am  
oh, but won?t you promise me that we won?t ever forget what the means?
F                                                 Am                                                    E  
i know it?s hard to give a shit sometimes, but promise me we?ll always try.
F                                                      Am                                                                    E  
because i don?t wanna hate you, and i don?t wanna hate me,
F                            Am                                            E  
and i don?t wanna have to hate everything anymore.
