F Oh in no time at all BbFGm This'll be the distant past GGm Ooh
FDmEbGm So says the dying man once I'm in the box FDmEbGm Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok AmF And all of the pretentious ignorant voices that will go unchecked Dm The homophobes hipsters and 1 DbGm The false feminists he'd managed to detect FDbDm Oh who will critique them once he's left
