C                   F
Chalk it up to the public's
                G
request for a style
                F           C
that they just don't understand
C                   F
Chalk it up to the difference
            G
between the industries
   F        C
supply and demand
C                    F
Say please with the stab
                    G
of a knife to the heart of
            F         C
what you've always believed
           C
Well I'll pull that bloody
F
knife back out and wave
   G           F       C
it at the pessimism in me

F
Say goodbye
to all the
   C
preconceptions
that you had
F
Say goodbye to
                 C G# G
everything you know
F                  G
Take the time and draw
            C
the line to what you
G/B       Am        G
have and what you think
        F            G
you'll find Cause I know

Chorus:
C
Let's hear it for
     F       G
lack of origination
C
It's all the same
              F
thing if you look at it
G    C
right I can tell you
        F       G
without any hesitation
     G#               A#
That this will not survive

So what's the catch, what's the trick to the trade?
Is it luck or is it all just a game?
What's the rule for the polished charade?
Is it all about what's in a name?
You say it bleeds when you’re stabbed with
a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well, pull that fucking knife back out and wave
it at the pessimism in me

Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you've known
Take the time to toe the line between what you
have and what you think you'll find
‘Cause I know

Chorus:
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this
will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this
will not survive tonight

Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this
will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation that this
will not survive
No, this will not survive
So kiss it all goodnight, kiss it goodnight
Kiss it goodnight, kiss it goodnight
