(Shh, quiet, you might piss somebody off)


D5 – D#5-F5-D5
Like me motherf~ker you've been at it for too long

D5 – D#5-F5-D5
While you feed off others insecurities

D5 – D#5-F5-D5
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

(+) Self righteousness is wearing thin

Telling them its all for something real

Don't respect the words you’re speaking

Gone too far

A
Acclaim

D5 D#5-D5
So, how does it feel to know that someone's kid

D#5-D5 D5
in the heart of America has blood on their hands

D#5-D5
fighting to defend your rights

D#5-D5
so you can maintain the lifestyle

D5 D#5-D5
that insults his families existence

D5 D#5-D5 D5
Well, where I come from we have a special salute

D#5-D5 D5
waved high in the air to all those

pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers

F5-Chords

Like the heartbeat

D5 – D#5-F5-D5
of this country when antagonized too long

I'll be damned if you count me

D5 – D#5-F5-D5
in as part of your generous hypocrisy

D5 – D#5-F5-D5
collected and amazed

Tabloid gossip we want less real

Back to: Chorus

D#5-D5 D5
All the way from the east to the west

D#5-D5
We’ve got this high society

D#5-D5 D5
looking down on their very foundation

D#5-D5 D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions

D5 D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems

D5 D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction

D5 D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections

D5 F5 D5
They never contributed a f~king thing

to the country they love to critize

Gm
Excuse the obscene

Ignore the untrue

Depictions we see
