Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Candy  coated cannibalistic news  flashed  across  the screen
 Stay tuned  we'll define what's  wrong and what's  right
 What's obscure and  what's  obscene
 And the  fat cat laughs as you  lose your last chance
 As his pants  split right down  the seam
 But if I  ever get my break  for God's sake
I'm  gonna make my break  clean
 Yes I may  be a dirty old  man by the time I can  beat down this dirty  old scene
 But if I  ever get my break
 I'm gonna  make my break  clean
I've  got bars on my windows and lines  on my face
 I can't  compete  in this race
I  don't like it when she's on the street  at night
 She can barely  go  anyplace
 And everybody  wants control  of her body,
 and I'm hoping  the choice might be  me
 If I ever  get my break  for God's sake,
I'm  gonna make my break  clean
If  you ever give me a break
I'm  gonna make my break  clean
 2x
 2x
Shake  me I've painted myself  in the corner of  an escape artist's  dream
 And you know I believe it cause  I just can't leave it
I  don't really know what it  means
I  may be buried alive or just  left in the dirt
I'm  fading as fast as my  jeans
If  I ever get my  break for God's sake
I'm  gonna make my break  clean
