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