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

D# F# G# G# F# A#
Hey Standing up to certain sheilds, Hey
