[Verse]
D Bm
Is it something visceral?
F#m
The way with your pride the basic ways to define ourselves
D Bm F#m
It's tragical, you take it so hard that we just don't look the part
D Bm
But I believe that we can change it
F#m
This incessant hopping of the stereotypes
D
I think your downright lying
Bm F#m
if you claim to know people you've never met
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I know its b-b-b-b-basic
Bm F#m
But somehow, somepeople haven't n-n-n-nailed it
D
That we are individuals with individual tastes
Bm F#m
It doesn't matter what color or r-r-r-r-race you are
Where ya from?
D
I know its b-b-b-b-basic
Bm F#m
But somehow, somepeople haven't n-n-n-nailed it
D
That we are individuals with individual tastes
Bm F#m
It doesn't matter what color or r-r-r-r-race you are
Where ya from?
[Chorus]
Repeat lick from intro
F# A B B A C#
Screwing up the point of view
F# A B B E C#
Stealing from your largest fears
F# A B B A C#
Standing up to certain sheilds
[Verse]
D Bm
Maybe we're just sensitive
F#m
We go run in circles and we make ourselves nauseous
D Bm F#m
Contrafactual, you meant nothing by it
We must deal with satire
D Bm
But then what if its just plain wrong
F#m
This incessant pointing to your dress always
D
You choose to cut your hair
Bm F#m
What if we wanted just a bit more slack?
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I know its b-b-b-b-basic
Bm F#m
But somehow, somepeople haven't n-n-n-nailed it
D
That we are individuals with individual tastes
Bm F#m
It doesn't matter what color or r-r-r-r-race you are
Where ya from?
[Chorus]
F# A B B A C#
Screwing up the point of view
F# A B B E C#
Hey Stealing from your largest fears
F# A B B A C#
Hey Standing up to certain sheilds, Hey
