[Intro]
|   G5|   G5|
[Verse 1]
Who made this mG5ess
We once called hA5ome?
Sins of the flD5esh
Are not sinned alE5one
Invite the "oG5ur sin"-ist
For incendiary A5fun
Where there's smoke there are cD5igarettes
And blindfolds and gE5uns
[Pre-Chorus]
The house was on fCire
As the victim scrGeamed
While her hands were tAmied
As he barely brDeathed
[Chorus]
 GWe had it all, that's what they'll sAmay
We did not seize, we stole the dDay
Now there we are, punk rock clichEmés
We knew the rCisks
We played the gGame
With our own rAmules
We fanned the flEmames
Punk rock clGichés
[Verse 2]
Her lies succG5ess-
-ful as a lie can bA5e
Those who need to blD5ur the truth
Believe lies set you frE5ee
[Pre-Chorus]
Enter the Carsonist
When the fire bGegan
Trust can burn like the HAmindenburg
And one gasoline cDan
[Chorus]
 GWe had it all, gave it awAmay
The peruvincent price we have to pDay
When we licked clB/D#ean the silver trGay
Why did our home burn down so fD/F#ast?
Castles of stone are supposed to lFast
Why can't I get passed through the pEmast?
[Outro]
We knew the Codds
We placed the bGets
If you play the dAmomme-con
There's no regrEmet
In punk rock roulGette
'Cause when I wCatched
It all crumble awGay
I realized the wAmalls we built
Were just papier-mâchEmé
How punk rock clichGé

[Verse 1]

Who made this mess

We once called home?

Sins of the flesh

Are not sinned alone

Invite the "our sin"-ist

For incendiary fun

Where there's smoke there are cigarettes

And blindfolds and guns

[Pre-Chorus]

The house was on fire

As the victim screamed

While her hands were tied

As he barely breathed

[Chorus]

G Am

We had it all, that's what they'll say

We did not seize, we stole the day

Now there we are, punk rock clichés

We knew the risks

We played the game

With our own rules

We fanned the flames

Punk rock clichés

[Verse 2]

Her lies success-

-ful as a lie can be

Those who need to blur the truth

Believe lies set you free

[Pre-Chorus]

Enter the arsonist

When the fire began

Trust can burn like the Hindenburg

And one gasoline can

[Chorus]

G Am

We had it all, gave it away

The peruvincent price we have to pay

B/D# G

When we licked clean the silver tray

D/F#

Why did our home burn down so fast?

Castles of stone are supposed to last

Why can't I get passed through the past?

[Outro]

We knew the odds

We placed the bets

If you play the domme-con

There's no regret

In punk rock roulette

'Cause when I watched

It all crumble away

I realized the walls we built

Were just papier-mâché
