The Smashing Pumpkins is an American alternative rock band from Chicago. Formed in 1988 by frontman Billy Corgan (lead vocals, guitar), D'arcy Wretzky (bass), James Iha (guitar), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums), the band has undergone many line-up changes. The current lineup features Corgan, Chamberlin, Iha and guitarist Jeff Schroeder.
Disavowing the punk rock roots of many of their alt-rock contemporaries, they have a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound

[Verse 1] The world is a vampire, sent to drain Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames And what do I get, for my pain? Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold - like old job
[Chorus] B5A5G5C#5D5A5EmG5 Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage B5A5G5C#5D5A5EmG5 Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage B5A5G5C#5D5A5EmG5 Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved B5A5G5C#5D5A5EmG5EmF#5 Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
