[Verse 1]
E A A E A A
Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
E F#m F#m C#m A A
Been shut down I've been kicked around now there's an a-bomb in my heart
E A A E A A
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
E F#m F#m C#m E E
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
B
I wanna take you for a ride
C#m
To the reasons you need be it hunger or greed
D
It's ok
[Chorus]

Tell me a joke and make me smile
E G#m7 G#m7
Play me the part be the star for a while
C#m B A A 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
E A A E A A
But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a bug-free zone
E F#m F#m C#m E E
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out
