verse 1 

Riff 1 
G             C           Am                            C                           G 
"Say something meaningful please" It's been 3 years of stagnation, court dates, and fees 
Riff 1    C            Am      C 
Wondering if I will go free 

Riff 1 
Nothing will satisfy me Even if I burn this whole planet down it seems 
Riff 1 
Won't learn a thing, I'll die from risking 

verse 2 
         G                            Am 
I've got friends who would rather end society 
                   C 
Because there's no way of fixing these flaws 
           G                          Am 
And that's starting to make far more sense to me now 
            C 
Cause we're lazy and used to what's wrong 
          G                             Am 
It's been embedded inside us since our first breaths 
          C 
We're destroying the world where we live 
         G                      Am 
But I'm sitting here watching a T.V. in bed 
           C 
Wondering why I lack happiness 

 
   Am            C 
Oh disappointing mouth 
    Am 
Say something more than 
C 
Another word about 
C 
How's your life's difficult 
 G 
Now! 


           Am  C       
La la la la la la (x2) 
N.C. 
before returning to G for the second round of 'la la' on the Astring play -3-2-0-

verse 3 
N.C.  
Riff 1 
Life is all monotony Sprinkled with some moments of unforeseen extremes 
Riff 1 
In between more sleeping 

Riff 1 
How will the prison showers be? Will I have to punch somebody just to get clean? 
Riff 1 
Will there be something for me to eat? 

verse 4 
       G                           Am 
All of us are just frightened roosters in a ring 
       C 
Ready to pounce and fight anything 
           G                            Am 
Though none of us will ever know what freedom is 
        C 
We have certainly felt lack of it 

         G                       Am 
Proverbs and clichés remind me that 
                  C 
I should learn to appreciate what I can get 
            G                      Am 
But they're forcing us to live within our own shit 
      C 
And I wasn't born to be a pig 

 
   Am            C 
Oh disappointing mouth 
     Am 
Hold your tongue 
        C 
So the cops don't come and beat the words from you 
             G 
Sing in tune now! 

           Am  C 
La la la la la la (x4)
