Racist Society from "Major Label Debut" by Screeching Weasel Tabbed by: Darby Edelen edelen@ucsc.edu Another great Screeching Weasel song. People don't seem to appreciate the chord chart format I've been using (I consider it more useful than straight forward tablature, but c'est la vie) so I've included the tablature for the Verse, Chorus and Bridge below. With that and the chord chart after it there should be no complaints.

Did you Aknow that youB live iEn a racist society DiAd you knowB you're thC#e privileged Bclass and Aeverybody else is essentially taking it up the ass
Chorus:
DiEd you know tAhat you could be free DiEd you kAnow that's not the way it has to be
DiEd you knoAw you can still change everything
Verse:
DiC#d you know thatB there's noA such thBing as Eequality and there might never be if you don't change DiAd you kBnow Ethat you live in a warzone, culturally
DiAd you know Bthat your C#parents were ***ed wBhen they tAaught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough
(Chorus) Bridge:
C# Did you knowB that the olAder youB get itC# gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess Did you knBow that Athe jews dBon't runC# the world and all black men aren't criminals
Did you knoBw thereA's a lot of money to be made From Bkeeping you paraC#noid, suspiciBous, worried, frightened
AAll woBund up and tense inside 'cause EBig busiBness runsC# the govAernment and it's not good business
EIf we burn Bdown the goverAnment so they keep us occupied EWith mBoron C#tv showAs and ***ty beer that wipes out brain cells
And EwhiningB about conAgress and stupid ***ing income taxes C#And if thAat's not enouEgh to keBep your mind off of the way you're getting dicked around
C#They fill yAou with fear aEnd hate give you someone to blame for all your problems Why'Bs the coAuntry going down the ***ing toilet?
Modified Chorus:
EDo you knowA what they think of you EDo you knowA how contemptuous they are of you
EDo you kAnow how easy you are to fool
Outro:
