     A#m
The poet’s a genius,
     C#
Its something I don’t see,
     F#                 F
Why would a genius be trippin on me?
            A#m
And there’s looking and another ,
     C#
Why he can’t see is that
     F#
I’m looking through his eyes,
                 F
So many lies behind his eyes.
           A#m
N tell me stories from your past,
             C#
And sing me songs you wrote before.
            F#
I tell you this my Poison Prince,
                 F
You’ll soon be knocking on Heaven’s door.

Chorus:
             A#m
Some kind of Poison Prince,
           C#
With your eyes in daze.
             F#
Some kind of Poison Prince,
      F
Your life is like a maze.
        A#m
And what we all want
         C#
and what we all crave,
      F#
Is an upbeat song,
                F
So that we can dance the night away.

Oh, who said life was easy?
Who said life was fair?
Who said nobody gived a damn
And nobody even cared?
The way you're acting now
Like you left that all behind
You've given up, you've given in
Another sucker of that slime
