Making Punk A Threat Again Again

[A]      [E]      [B]      [D]


Every Friday [A]night in every [E]town
the [B]walls come crashing [D]down
and the [A]man falls [E]to his [B]knees.
And, [A]when the breakdowns [E]hit
the [B]kids will go ape[D]shit
and [A]tear down [E]society[A].

The [A]singer's on the [E]stage
with the [B]spotlight on his [D]rage
as we [A]wave our [E]timecards in the [A]air.
For [A]one man's rebel [E]rock is [B]another's punching [D]clock
the [A]world is just [E]pretending,
the [A]world is just [E]pretending
the [A]world is just [E]pretending [B]to be [D]scared.

[A]Yesterday's [E]taboos were cashing [B]checks for you-know-[D]who
and there's [A]GG Allin [E]t-shirts in the [A]mall.
But, we're so [A]scared of losing [E]face
in this [B]faster, louder [D]race,
[A]sometime's it's [E]easier to just play [A]ball.

So, up [A]there in garage[E]land
a hundred [B]million garage [D]bands
spend a [A]hundred million [E]hours in the [B]lab.
Something [A]old, something [E]new, but the [B]same old 'fuck [D]you.'

Breakdown/Chorus
(At first, just play fairly soft w/o strumming for first time playing this part of
the song. After first play through, just put more energy into it- strumming,
played faster; it's punk, do it how you want.)

[A]We played it [E]louder, but they [B]laughed at us. [D]
[A]We played it [E]faster, but they were [B]only acting [D]scared.
[A]We raised our[E] voices to the [B]heavens in [D]disgust.
[A]We put our [E]souls through hell just to [B]find them laughing [D]there.

(After second play-through)

We played it louder, but they laughed at us. (So, what do we do now?)
We played it faster, but they were only acting scared. (So, what do we do now?)
We raised our voices to the heavens in disgust (So, what do we do now?)
We put our souls through hell just to find them laughing there. (So, what do we do now?)

So what do we do [A]now?   [E]          [B]                 [D]

(play however many times to end the song.)
