Siddharthas Of Suburbia

Biography:

Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

Josh Joplin Group - Siddharthas of Suburbia

[Intro]
G D Am
Stop wasting your words
C D
Convincing yourself that no one hurts

[Verse 1]
G C G D
Time killed the rebel that could not change with time
G C G C
And fashion placed a flower at the image in our mind
Em C G D
Of the switchblade saint surrounded, carving out his prose
F C
And mumbling what he knows

[Chorus]
Am C
Siddharthas of suburbia
G D Am
Stop wasting your words
C D
Convincing yourself, no one hurts
G D Am
And dance away your death
C D
And don't be alarmed there's nothing left

[Verse 2]
G C G D
The archetype of rock-n-roll is dying in his bed
G C G C
While the debutantes deny it and set their clocks ahead
Em C G D
'Cause every night is New Year's and every day is dull
F C
Long live rock-n-roll

[Chorus]
Am C
Siddharthas of suburbia
G D Am
Stop wasting your words
C D
Convincing yourself, no one hurts
G D Am
And dance away your death
C D
And don't be alarmed there's nothing left
Am Em
It's all alright
Am Em
It's all alright

Just hold on

[Bridge]
G
They used to say the world was flat

If you went too far, you'd fall
G
Just beyond the cul-de-sac
D Am G/B C D
The houses and the mall, it's beautiful

[Verse 3]
G C G D
The future is a stereo, eats your favourite tapes
G C G C
The soundtrack to your youth that cannot be replaced
Em C G D
So hold on to every song before they disappear
F C
Your future almost here

[Chorus]
Am C
Siddharthas of suburbia
G D Am
Stop wasting your words
C D
Convincing yourself, no one hurts
G D Am
And dance away your death
C D
And don't be alarmed there's nothing left
Am Em
It's all alright
Am Em
It's all alright
G C G
Just hold on tight
C G C G
Just hold on tight
