[Intro]
F# F#
F# B7
Bm7 F#

[Verse 1]
F# F#
Belle Glade missionaries are here to steal your cocaine,
F# B7
You better send your malaria to puncture their brains and,
Bm7 F#
Send them back to where they came from.
D Dmaj7 D7 F#
Send them back to the savannas of disease.

[Verse 2]
F# F#
From your first psychotic episode to your drug-induced schizophrenia,
F# B7
It's your dysphoric mania that makes you so likable,
Bm7 F#
And everybody wanna save you.

D Dmaj7 D7 F#
Save you just for themself.

[Chorus]
D#m C#
They're letting children get blown up in their schools today
D#m C#
So they can get them back into their factories
A#m E A
You know it pains me to see you all being so betrayed
G#m C#
But I guess you'll never know, so it doesn't matter
C#7
Doesn't matter!

[Verse 3]

F# F#
My fever must be high because these bitter winter winds,
F#
Have made the bones in my jaw go hollow,
B7
And there's a sense
Bm7 F#
that there's a prowler on the prairie.
D Dmaj7 D7 F#
Leaving hair on the walls.

[Verse 4]
F# F#
We helped to flatten the sounds that bound down Dolores Street,
F#
And my greatest fear released,
B7
Into someone else's consciousness
Bm7 F#
and now it's theirs to contend with.
D Dmaj7 D7 F#
Ah, but still there's these razors to pretend with.

[Chorus]
D#m C#
They're letting children get blown up in their schools today
D#m C#
So they can get them back into their factories
A#m E A
You know it pains me to see you all being so deceived,
G#m C#
But I guess you'll never know, so it doesn't matter

[Bridge]

Fm
I have a sense you want to be,
D#
The female Henry Miller,
A#m
Cynically referring to your lovers as your pricks and,
C#
Exploiting other people's madness.

Fm
On Nexus you claimed to have called out to me,
D#
Telepathically through all archaic mediums,
A#m A#m7
But I never once heard you, so,
C# C#7
I think you were just lying again.

[Verse 5]
F#
I feel like I've been Becket's Molloy'd,
F#
Like something nature people avoid,
F#
Like all my talent's been destroyed,
B7
Like I'm a para-spectral voice,
Bm7 F#
With no choices at the present.

D Dmaj7 D7 F#
Still there's a value in things unpleasant.

[Verse 6]

F# F#
Well, you post naked GIFs of your epileptic fits,
F# B7
And keep track of your hits and your friends don't give a shit,
Bm7 F#
And view your fugues with amusement.
D Dmaj7 D7
All the evil in the universe,
D7 F#
There are no victims, only participants.

[Chorus]
D#m C#
They're letting children get blown up in their schools today,
D#m C#
So they can get them back into their factories.
A#m E A
You know it pains me to see you all being so betrayed,
G#m C#
But I guess you'll never know, so it doesn't matter.

C#7
Doesn't matter!

[Outro]

F#

F# F#
Can't trust my instincts lately,
F# F#
They don't feel organic.
F# F#
They feel more synthetic,
F# F#
They feel more synthetic,
F# F#
More synthetic,
F# F#
Synthetic,
F# F#
Synthetic
