[Intro]

[Verse]
A
Salvage yard scavenging, bent over backwards
D
The caverns are vast and packed to the rafters with
A
decaying corpses. Of course it's important??.
D
Pertinent details from primary sources
A
The voices are louder than ever before,
D
Sticking forks into four-legged horses
A
Deplorable forces conspire to fire the lord
D
and to hire a guy who will try to eat more of the
E
portions. A guy who's more boorish,
D
a guy who's more selfish, with elves as his helpers
E
Hopeless hapless masses are dopes, they suppose
D
It's the same old rigamarole that we know,
E
It's as bold as a rodeo. Run with the bulls??.
D
All the bullshit is so, so disposable.
Open wounds, broken bones.
[Verse]
A
Choking from smoking these Marlboro hundreds
D
Dysfunctional, fuck up in front of the public
A
Dublin is so far away?? it's disgusting
D
The way that these laymen conduct their discussions
A
But it's fun to disrupt if youre cussing enough
D
Then I call my own bluff, push my luck
A
Hungry husbands are smuggling in drugs with their blood bubbling, boiling
D
Recoil from the touch of the boys in the club
E
Noise erupts from the speakers, they scream from the bleachers
D
Creatures in need of a teacher
E
The reason is clear as a really bleached t-shirt
D
The fever is reaching its peak.
E
The deceivers are speaking of peace like it's reachable
D
The evil are peeking through cracks in the steeple. Believe it, it's real.
A
'Tis the season, I'm breathing in poison, chest heaving,
D
Can't even conceive of the next best thing
A
??Arrest these heathens! Forget the trial, lock 'em up, toss the key ?
D
Dot the T's, cross the I's, lots of apostrophes
E
Coughing up boxes of bucks to stay lost
D
in the fog of this obnoxious process
E
My conscience is quiet, ensconced in the tarpit
D G
Cover the garden with carpet, forget and get onto the starship
[Verse]
D
We're off to another dimension?? the rent's too expensive here
G
Spent my whole pension improving my penmanship
D
When does it get any closer to ending?
C
And can I just mention the stench?
G
It's relentless when in the presence of elegant gentlemen
C
The villains have taken their vengeance
G
I regret to say they've collected the evidence
D
Repent and pretend every entrance is open to tenants with references
C
Declare myself president of the emptiness,
D
Say I'm Rembrandt of dancing on the precipice
C
Eleven years in and trying to stay relevant
D
But based on what's left of the remnants of my intestines
Dm
I would guess I've ingested the medicine.
[Bridge]
Em
Yes, I've been everywhere but everywhere that I've been
Bm
I've been out of my element, even in my own skin
E D
And I can't begin to think what I'd tell people back home
A D
So I tell it to the microphone
A D
I tell it to the microphone.
E D
I can't leave the life alone??.
E D
I can't leave the life alone??.
A D
I tell it to the microphone.
A D
I tell it to the microphone.
E D
I can't leave the life alone??.
E D
I can't leave the life alone??.
