Gm              Cm          D# F
So what is this so-so-society?
Gm                  Cm                  D#   F
Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free
Gm                 Cm            D#   F
Still popping that poison, po-po-po
Gm             Cm          D#   F
Political you know how it goes

Gm         Cm  D#
Is this dystopia?

Chorus:
Gm      Cm
Fame is the bait
         D#                         F
(And the switch is the look in your eye)
Gm        Cm
What will you ask?
          D#                      F
(While we wait for the past to arrive)
Gm      Cm
Fame is the bait
         D#                         F
(And the switch is your head in the sand)
Gm        Cm
Time that we waste
          D#                      F
(While we wait for the future to land)

Gm F# Gm
       Die happy
Gm F# Gm
       In the summertime
Gm F# Gm
       So happy
Gm F# Gm
       I could die

This city is thick with common thieves
Still passing around the same disease
Who's running this town and why are we?
Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free

In this dystopia
In this dystopia
In this dystopia
In this dystopia

Chorus

Gm       Cm
Fame is the bait
         D#                         F
(And the switch is your desolate smile)
Gm    Cm
If I need it
            D#                       F
(Though we shelter the thing for a while)
Gm      Cm
Fame is the bait
           D#                         F
(And the switch is the touch of your hand)
Gm        Cm
Time that we waste
          D#                      F
(While we wait for the future to land)

Gm F# Gm
       Die happy

        So happy
Gm F# Gm
       I could die

       Die happy
Gm F# Gm
       In the summertime

        So happy
Gm F# Gm
       I could die
