Lyrics

[Intro]
D5
  Dang cricket, rabbit spinach
I've been stuck in the land of the digits
F#5
   I'm really five foot ten,
       C#5
please try to believe me
D5
  Poor wording, out of courage
No luck with the playful verbiage
F#5                            C#5
   Used all but ten percent of possible meanings

[Chorus]
D5 Amaj7                  A       F#7sus2 F#m9
        You really oughta know by now    
         Amaj7sus4/D
That you get        what you give
       E7/D
And if you don't commit
          F#7sus2
You'll be desperate just to fit in
Amaj7                         A
They don't practice then they wonder why they suck
F#7sus2
Patient? Always been,
    F#m9
now don't get outta touch
Amaj7sus4/D                            E7/D
           I should've told them that I    know better
Asus2                                A
     But now I'll show thеm that I'm no quitter

[Verse 1]
D5                  E5
  I sit in my house sucking smoke from my mouth
D5
  Gluеd to my couch,
E5
trying not to go psychotic
D5               E5
  I got cable to learn another angle
D5                  E5
  But I'm unable to get the hell out of my own head
D5           E5                       D5
  It's been about fifteen years since I've changed my mind
      E5
about any opinion
D5             E5                      D5
  Clutching to all the same fears that live in the tissue
   E5
of my protoplasm

[Interlude]
D5              F#5
  Talking heads,   "Fuck the feds"
D5             F#5
  So well-read,   I'm impressed
D5                    F#5
  How did you acquire all this undue confidence
   D5                                F#5
By babbling about current events and begging people "Smash
that like?"

[Bridge]
D5
Who that, do that, make improvements
Work the lane 'til worth consuming
F#5
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done,
C#5
done, done, done, done, done, done, done,
done
D5
Bear that, wear that, slanging pain
Art like daggers, ball and chain
F#5
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done,
C#5
done, done, done, done, done, done, done,
done

[Chorus]
D5 Amaj7                  A       F#7sus2 F#m9
        You really oughta know by now    
         Amaj7sus4/D
That you get        what you give
       E7/D
And if you don't commit
          F#7sus2
You'll be desperate just to fit in
Amaj7                         A
They don't practice then they wonder why they suck
F#7sus2
Patient? Always been,
    F#m9

Amaj7sus4/D                            E7/D
           I should've told them that I    know better
Asus2                                A          D5
     But now I'll show thеm that I'm no quitter

[Verse 2]
D5
  You're never honest,
E5
telling folks what they've missed
D5
  And now they're all pissed,
E5
trying not to be neurotic
D5                    E5
  Got no precision to leverage your ambition
D5
  Say you've got vision, well,
E5
why are you always so goddamn wrong?
D5           E5                       D5
  It's been about fifteen years since I've changed my mind
      E5
about any opinion
D5             E5                      D5
  Clutching to all the same fears that live in the tissue
   E5
of my protoplasm

[Interlude]
D5                          F#5
  You offer nothing but you want it all
D5                         F#5
  You need the adequate to cover for your shortfalls
D5                     F#5
  Propitiating to your own cabal
D5               F#5
Pitiful tantrums to show them you're not small

[Outro]
D5         E5
Dying in a dream
              D5                        E5
I should have fooled myself with self-esteem
           D5                       E5
I wanna be oozing health like sub-machine
Instead,
    D5                              E5
I'm chomping on rockets and sucking cream
