    D#m
Now I don't know and
     D#m
it's hard to explain
C#     D#m
But it seems like things
         D#m
are just kind of insane
  C#        D#m
Because the world is crying
    D#m
but nobody is listening
So please leave a message
on my cell phone

      D#m
I see bullets getting
   C#  D#m         C#
better biblical weather
         D#m
And that guy on TV is
C#      G#m      B
like a total asshole
    C#      D#m
Who are you wearing tonight?
  C#      D#m
Celebrity fundraiser tight
C#         D#m
Black ties making wrongs right
C#          F#     B
How's your social Band-Aid?

G#m
I don't know much
G#m
I don't know too much
G#m
But I know this
G#m
shit is fucked up

Chorus:
D#m   F#    G#m
La la la la la
             B    C#
I guess it's all about the dream
D#m   F#    G#m
La la la la la
          B    C#
The ends justify the means
D#m   C#    G#m  B  A#
La la la la la  la la
    A#                  C#
I'm telling you shit is fucked up
D#m   F#    G#m
La la la la la
             B    C#
I guess it's all about the dream
D#m   F#    G#m
La la la la la
          B    C#
The ends justify the means
D#m   C#    G#m B  A# B C# D#m C# D#m
La la la la la  la la

Now, thank God for the media
for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective
in a responsible way
With more celebrity news,
typical bullshit views
I think we're losing this
fight sponsored by Bud Light

And now, we're rocking the casbah
and taking the flak
The genie's out of the bottle,
and we can't put it back
All this stuff, it's overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm coming?
It's coming this way

I don't know much, I don't know too much
But I know this: shit is fucked up

Chorus

D#m
Shopping sprees, RPGs, ecstasy, atrophy
Genocide, Pimp My Ride, politize, euphemize
Injustice everywhere, apathy, I don't care
Hurricanes, climate change, huh
Therapy, I won't tell, rehab and LOL
Worldwide calamity, TV reality
Euthanize, supersize, death squads and boob jobs
And VIP infamy, gratify instantly

G#m
I don't know much
I don't know too much
A#
I don't know much
I don't know too much

Chorus
