["The Last Janelle"]
You Ddopes are all the same and that's Gwhy I'm so ashamed
To be a Epart of what might be called the punk Grock communiAty
You take things Dway too seriously or else you Gtake them too lightly
Post messaEges on AOL but don't you Gdare fuck with JaAnelle
She's everyGthing that you're not, she's not a Dgirl, she is a thought
She's an Gidea or an ideal that you won't
AEver get so go play with your make believe internet friends
She's Don a Greyhound bus, I ate a Ghairy coconut
I think I Emight have diverticulitis, GIs there too much Abeer inside us
DUgly riot girls saying I Gdon't know shit - it hurts
To know you Ecare enough to send the very Gshittiest, so Agentlemen
And Gladies have a seat and Dallow me to repeat
That your Gstupid on-line world and your
AStupid comments may well be justification for a beating
G Where applicaDble
Not Avalid in VerDmont
GVoid where prohibiDted
And Ashut G your fucking Dmouth
Don't Ggo to Easter DIsle
And AoverpopuDlate
You'll Gdestroy God's Spaceship DEarth
ADilute G dilute ODK

["Compact Disc"]
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
D(pm) A(pm)
It's a method of conveying sound, it's square outside, inside it's round
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate
D(pm) A(pm)
Reading of the numbers that make up different sounds in fact
E It's the most technologically advanced
Sound F#reproduction Dknown to man
A E (w/ slides up from D#)
At least in the commercially viable sense
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
D(pm) A(pm)
Every subtle nuance of a tune is made available to you
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a high-tech dream come true
D(pm) A(pm)
Technically it works with laser beams yet you can learn to use it easily
E Throw your scratched, dusty records in the F#trash
It's time to Dmove out of the Apast
E (w/ slides up from D#)
In the profit analysis sense
[Solo]
A That thing you're listening to is called a waste of time
An inferior and Doverpriced product of an underAactive mind
A That thing you're listening to is a multi-flawed industry scam
Devoid of any thought or Dheart at all
It's the antithesis of Arock and roll
E But no one cares that a record sounds better
Cause you F#just can't buy them so it Djust doesn't matter at Aall
E (w/ slides up from D#)
And that's common sense

["Racist Society"]
Did you Aknow that you live in a Bracist soEciety
Did you Aknow you're the privileged Bclass
C#(pm) B(pm) A(pm)
And everybody else is essentially taking it up the ass

Did you Eknow that's not the way that it Ahas to be
Did you Eknow you can still change Aeverything
C#(pm) B(pm)
Did you know that there's no such thing as equality
A(pm) B(pm) E
And there might never be if you don't change
Did you Aknow that you live in a B war zone (Eculturally)
Did you Aknow that your parents were Bfucked
C#(pm) B(pm) A(pm)
When they taught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough
Did you Eknow that you could be Afree
Did you Eknow that's not the way that it Ahas to be
Did you Eknow you can still change Aeverything

From keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried, frightened

If we burn down the government so they keep us occupied
E With moron BTV shows and C#shitty beer that Awipes out brain cells
E And whining Babout Congress and Astupid fucking income taxes
C# And if that's not enough
A To keep your mind off of
E The way you're getting dicked aBround
C# They fill you with fear and hate
A Give you someone to blame
E For all your problems
While the Bcountry's going down the Afucking toilet
Do you Eknow what they think of Ayou
Do you Eknow how contemptuous they Aare of you
Do you Eknow how easy you Aare to fool
C#(pm) B(pm)
You're like a dog doing after a ball that was never thrown
A(pm) B(pm) E(pm)
Well guess what you're on your own Good luck

["Nightbreed"]
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x4
[Verse]:
B This used to be a place where Gwe could walk the streets
UnArestricted by imaginary Efears
BThings didn't seem to be so compliGcated then
Til you Apolluted everything that we had Ehere
BOur little secret was exposed for Gall its worth
Stripped of Aeverything that made it good and Ethen
BWe were forced out of the world Gthat we created
And Aexpected to move on and start Eagain
[Chorus]:
BWe live Dhere G toEday
BWe live Dhere alGways alEways
BWe live Dhere G toEday
BWe live Dhere alGways alEways
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x2
[Repeat Verse]:
The money moved right in and sucked the life right out
So the privileged could sit back and enjoy
The things that made this place what it was before you came here
Were the first things you decided to destroy
We walk your streets late at night while you're asleep
Creeping from the sewers oozing from the cracks
We are the blood that pumps the heart you call your home
And any day we're gonna come to take it back
[Repeat Chorus]
BWe live here, we live here, Dwe live here, we live here
GWe live here, we live here E
BWe live here, we live here, Dwe live here, we live here
GWe live here, we live here E
