   G                      Em
Thanks, I got it from my very best friend
           C                             D
Kissed her once in high school and then never again
  G                       Em
Drugs and money, who's between your covers
          C                D
Wouldn't matter to me one way or the other

       C                 G
When thots and animals storm the capital
        D       B7      Em
You'll watch c-span for fun
               C
'Cause it's a fucking drag
           G
And it's crazy sad
            D        B7         Em
But you'll do what's got to be done

Chorus:
         C                     D
Are you really gonna save the world like that?
           G               Em
With your tits half out on instagram
         C                          D
I mean yeah motherfucker, that was always the plan
           G                 Em
I'm gonna wear this shit to Congress man
    C          G
So hop off my dick
              B7                       Em
'cause this whole thing makes me feel sick
             C      G         B7
And you're mean to kids, why can't you
           E
just quit picking on them
 C                  D
Life and liberty, sometimes property,
     B7                   Em
the right to try to feel good
              C                     D
Her heart is pure, the math checks out
               G
so what's the move
                   C              D
And how could you do this when I learned
                G
my rights from you

Here's a little fact, I cry all the time
About the state in healthcare and the grand design
Sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's bittersweet
But it's how you'll know I'm me
And now gun control's a fuckin' wicked problem
I don't know if anybody knows how to solve it
But if I were in Congress and someone shot up
a school
I'd fucking cry about that too
And so my question is to you

Chorus:
"Are you really gonna save the world this way?
Crying like a kid every single day?"
Hell yeah, motherfucker, I'm afraid it's true
People are in pain, what's wrong with you?
So, hop off my dick
Your Nixon smile makes me fuckin' sick
You should be just as wrecked as I am
I'm pretty fuckin' angry that you're not

And when thots and animals storm the capital
You'll watch C-SPAN for fun
‘Cause it's a fucking drag
And it's crazy sad
But you’ll do what's got to be done
The rules were life and liberty,
sometimes property, the right to try to feel good
Her heart is pure, the math checks out,
so what's the move?
And why would you do this when
I learned my rights from you?

               Am                      C
And when soft boys and their succulents
                             G   G7
And girls dressed to crack skulls
 C                    Am                 Em
Take the capital and render its capital null
      Am          D                     G        E
We'll all feel a bit more pumped and a bit less sad
            Am
Paint our shirts
           D
Say we're sorry
              G
And call our dads
