Chords: G,C,D
[G]I dreamed I thanked [C]Scott Ian for [G]persistence of [C]time
[G]Back when steve and [C]eva died that a[G]lbum changed my [C]life
it was a [G]package of pure [C]darkness tied up [G]with a silver [C]string
[G]delivered by a [C]fast train rea[G]rranging how i th[C]ink
he s[G]aid "i can't [C]believe you even [G]know that i [C]exist,
i[G]'ve got all of your [C]albums and i [G]think you are the [C]best"
[G]he started to [C]cry and i [G]started to l[C]augh
[G]i gave him a [C]hug and he gave [G]me his autog[C]raph
[D]reeling in my disbelief, i know that it was just a dream
all the covers that i see are different from the books i read
[G]everything is [C]crumbling ar[G]ound me[C]
[G]why does every[C]thing cost so much [G]money?[C]
[G]could somebody [C]please help out my [G]family?[C]
[G]my mom needs hearing [C]aids, new s[G]houlders, and new [C]legs
[G]my dad needs a [C]break he works a[G]ll day every [C]day
my [G]brother needs a [C]place and a [G]job where he can [C]make
e[G]nough money to ta[C]ke care of his b[G]aby[C]
[D]here's a simple dissertation on a complex situation
money and intimidation and mass graves make strong foundations
for the giant corporations that own all the TV. stations
telling us to take vacations to their big theme park plantations
rather than to hearts of nations
[G]where we might [C]meet people [G]on the st[C]reet who say
[G] [C] [G/C] [G] [C]
"i do[C]n't want my mtv 'cause it brought viva to its knees"
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]and mom a[G]nd pop a[C]re begging "please, globalization's killing me"
[G] [C] [G] [C]
while[C] we think [G]that they[C] think they need all of the things we think we need
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
lik[C]e martha [G]stewart sh[C]ams and sheets and sugar free powdered iced tea
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
vanilla c[G/C]oke, lemon pepsi, friends episodes on dvd
D,C,D,C(i HIT THE LAST CHORD-C- THREE TIMES)
[G]i went to see the [C]doctor of [G]psychiatry[C]
[G]weapons of mass [C]instruction finally [G]broke me[C]
[G]he said "act your [C]age, don't be a[G]fraid, take two of t[C]hese.
now listen [G]real hard[C], put down that [G]guitar,[C]
don't be a [G]retard, be a[C]ll that you can [G]be"
[D]the things he said i could be were laid out right in front of me
would i choose deep fried apathy, mcnuggets where my balls should be,
or super sized conformity? i walked away and i'm still me
free to go fucking crazy, free to know why i'm angry
one and one and one is three and you and me is all i need
G C (G,C) G C
[G]singing [C]songs, [G] drawing cocks, picking locks to locked doors
C G C (G,C) G
fin[C]d deflated hearts, and pump them up
/=THE WORD ID BROKN DOWN INTO SYLLABLES. EX:MTV IS BROKEN INTO 3 SYLLABLES AND "MT" IS G
"V" IS C
