You got a glass jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
And they be runnin' round back
See'em line up on their kness
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
Throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch'em come in off the streets

Inside they're slammin' to the crunch
Go on and throw me to the lions

A piece of my mind
F#m
'Cause silence isn't golden
A E
When I'm holding it inside
F#m
'Cause I've been where I have been
E A
And I've seen what I have seen
F#m
I put the pen to the paper
A E F#m
'Cause it's all a part of me
F#m A E
How can I ever satisfy you
F#m A E
And how can I ever make you see
F#m A E
That deep inside we're all somebody
F#m A E
And it don't matter who you wanna be
A D A D
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
B E
For this man can stay it happened
B E
'Cause this child has been condemned
A D
So I stepped into your world
A D
I kicked you in the mind
B E
And I'm the only witness
E C#m
To the nature of my crime
F#m
But look at what we've done
E A
To the innocent and young
F#m
Whoa listen to who's talkin'
A E
'Cause we're not the only ones
F#m
The trash collected by the eyes
E A
And dumped into the brain
F#m
Said it tears into our consciuos thoughts
A E
You tell me who's to blame
D A E
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
D A E
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
D A E
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
D A E
But your delusions are yours and not mine
D A E
We take for granted we know the whole story
D
We judge a book by it's cover
A
And read what we want
E (F#m E A F#m A E)2x
Between selected lines
F#m
Don't hail me
E
And don't idolize the ink
A F#m
Or I've failed in my attentions
A E
Can you find the missin' link
F#m E A
Your only validation is in living your own life
F#m A E
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
F#m A E
So I send this song to the offended
F#m A E
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
F#m A E
As so many others do intending just to please
F#m
If I damned your point of view
A E (F#m E A F#m A E)2x (D A F#m)3x
Could you turn the other cheek D E C# E C# F#m
F#m
Don't damn me
E A
When I speak a piece of my mind
F#m
'Cause silence it's not golden
A E
When I'm holding it inside
F#m
I've been where I have been
E A
And I've seen what I have seen
F#m
Put the pen to the paper
A E
'Cause it's all a part of me
F#m E
Don't damn me
A F#m A
I said don't damn me
E F#m E
I said don't hail me
A F#m A E F#m E C# F#m C# Eb E B A E
Don't damn me
F#m
All right that's stopped!
Bad Apples
Tom: E
Tuning:Eb
Intro E7/
A7
Diamonds and fast cars
Money to burn
I got my head in the clouds
I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand
I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother
Twice the price of my thrills
E7
And it's a cold day it's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell
Can you give me a lift
And I'll try to paint a story
Got your pictures to tell
Yeah, you got to make a living
With what you bring yourself to sell
A7
I got some genuine
Imitation
Bad apples
Free sample
For your peace of mind
Only $9,95
E7
I got my camera back from customs
Got my law fees up to date
Hell they must seen me comin'
Ain't this life so fuckin' great
D
When the shit hit the fan
A
It was all I could stand
E
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
D
My body's breathing while it can
A E
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't getting no brighter
D
If i could touch the sky
A
Well I would float on by
E
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
D
If it were up to me
A
I'd say just leave me be
B
Why let one bad apple
A7
Spoil the whole damn bunch
A7
Gold and caviar
Now whyn't you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered
If I could teach my hands to see
E7
But now we're down in the deep end
Where they'd love to watch you drown
I said your laundry could use washing
Will hang it up all over town
I said Hollywood's like a dryer
And we're down on Sunset Strip
And you'll be suckin' down the clorox
'Til your life's all nice and crisp
D
When the shit hit the fan
A
It was all I could stand
E
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer

My body's breathing while it can

Something tells me he's been here before

'Cause experience makes you wise
A B
I was only a small child
G# A
When the thought first came to me
B
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son

That brought back the devil in me

And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's
Worth a tad more

And I don't think I wanna

Ever come back to this world again

Kinda like it in a coma

'Cause no one's ever gonna
G# Eb G
Oh, make me come back to this world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
C
I can't feel all the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's calling
My body's calling
Eb Bb D A
Won't ya come back to this world again
Am
Suspended deep in a sea of back
G
I've got the light and the end
I've got the bones on the most
Well, I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'
B F#
I could leave so easily
B C C# D
While friends are calling back to me
A
I said they're
E
They're leaving it all up to me
G D
When all I needed was clarity
C# C
And someone to tell me
A
What the fuck is going on
A C D/A G Gm7
God damn it! (Zap the son of a bitch again)
F
Slippin' farther and farther away
C
It's a miracle how long we can stay
B
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit
E A
Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me...
D/A A
Please understand me
B
I'm climbin' through the wreck age
Of all my twisted dreams
F#
But this cheap investigation just can't
Stifle all my screams
G D
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads
E
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
A
Where are you?
A7/ A7//
No one's gonna bother me anymore
A7
No one's gonna mess with my head no more

I can't understand what all the fightin' for

But it's so nice here down off the store

So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
G
With all the reasons you give it's
Gm
It's kinda hard to believe
F
But who I am to teel you that I've seen
C C# Eb
Any reason why you should stay
Maybe we'd better off without you anyway
Bm
You got a one way ticket
D
On your last chance ride
A
Gotta one way ticket
E
To your suicide
G
Gotta one way ticket
D C
And there's no way out alive
Em
And all this crass communication
G
That has left you in the cold
D
Isn't much for consolation
A
When you feel so weak and old
C
But if home is where the heart is
G
Then there's stories to be told
F
No, you don't need a doctor
No one else can heal your soul
Am
Got your mind in submission
C
Got your life on the line
G
But nobody pulled the trigger
D
They just stepped aside
F
They be down by the water
C Bb
While you watch'em waving goodbye
D
They be callin' in the morning
F
They be hangin' on the phone
C
They be waiting for the answer
G
But you know nobody's home
Bb
And when the bell's stopped ringing
F Eb
It was nobody's fault but your own
Gm
There were always ample warnings
Bb
There were always subtle signs
F
And you would have seen it comin'
C
But we gave you too much time
Eb
And when you said that no one's listening
Bb
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
G#
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
Cm
And it's so easy to be social
Eb
It's so easy to be cool
Bb
Yeah, it's so easy to be hungry
F
When you ain't got shit to lose
G#
And I wish that I could help you
Eb
With what you hope to find
C#
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take sometime
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
E F
Just to survive
