  (Shh, quiet, you might piss somebody off)

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

                           D#5-F5-D5

(+)  Self righteousness is wearing thin

                                 D5 – D#5-F5-D5

I'll bleed but not for f e l l o w man

D5

(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Chorus:

Dm                                    C/E

   Telling them its all for something real

Don't respect the words you’re speaking

Bb

Gone too far

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

   D#5-F5-D5

pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers

D5

(F~ You!)

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

                  D#5 - F5 - D5

Tabloid gossip we want less real

                           D5 – D#5-F5-D5

(There's no need for us to bury you)

                D5 – D#5-F5-D5

Selfish agenda, once again

D5

(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

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

Cm

Ignore the untrue

Depictions we see

Bb                 Bb/G#

Try and get through

         Gm       –      Cm

And many mistakes can hurt

D7-9                   G

I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Interlude: Cm  F  Bb – Bb/G#  Gm – Cm  A7-9 – A
