[Verse 1]
F A# A# F A# A#
Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
F Gm Gm Dm A# A#
Been shut down I've been kicked around now there's an a-bomb in my heart
F A# A# F A# A#
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
F Gm Gm Dm F F
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
'Cause right now under this fevering moon
C
I wanna take you for a ride
Dm
To the reasons you need be it hunger or greed
D#
It's ok
[Chorus]
F A# A#
Tell me a joke and make me smile
F Am7 Am7
Play me the part be the star for a while
Dm C A# A# A#
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
F A# A#
Gimme a wink, Let me know you're alive
F Am7 Am7
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Dm C A#
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Dm C A#
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive

For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my mind
F A# A# F A# A#
But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a bug-free zone
F Gm Gm Dm F F
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out
