DAnimals on BmTV singing
Eabout some pain that they once felt
DThere's no one I Bmdisapprove of Emore, or root for more than myself
DI wanted to preBmtend that it was Ebetter, better, better on the phone
              D               Bm                               E(let ring)
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone
So we Bmtalk Aabout ourF#mselves in Ehell
To forBmget the Alove we F#mnever Efelt
All the Bmold joEkes that Awork Dso C#mwell
UnivBmersal truth Ewas a momenAt's lie
F#Don't try to stop C#us
EDon't try to stop Bus
DDon't try to stop Aus
AGet out of the waC#y
DGot to get to Bmclimb your tree in the Elight of the living ghost I see
DShe sees her father in the Bmold man's eyes while Esecretly he stares at her thighs
DAnimals on BmTV singing aEbout some they may felt at some point
                D                Bm                                  E(let ring)
I didn't want to tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?
As I Bmwatched the Avelvet F#mdrapes Eappear
And the Bmdoor was Aclosed for F#mfourty Eyears
As we Bmhide what Ewe don't Awanna DheaC#mr
As we Bmhide what's Ereally Ain our DearC#ms
He is Bmcoming Afrom a F#mpart of Ehell
Where lightBmning blue Aeyes don't F#mgo down Ewell
He can't Bmtell that Awe're F#mobliviEous
It's adBmdiction Aof rouF#mtine as Ewell
Making Bmfools out Eof the Abest of DusC#m  
Making Bmrobots Eof the Arest of DusC#m  
InnocenBmce itEself in AmAerica tDodaC#my
There's a Bmcrime just Elike Cornel AWest migDht say
F#Don't try to stop C#us
EDon't try to stop Bus
DDon't try to stop Aus
AGet out of the waC#y

F#m

C#m

D Bm

Animals on TV singing

about some pain that they once felt

D Bm E

There's no one I disapprove of more, or root for more than myself

D Bm E

I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone

D Bm E

(let ring)

I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone

Bm A F#m E

So we talk about ourselves in hell

Bm A F#m E

To forget the love we never felt

Bm E A D C#m

All the old jokes that work so well

Bm E A

Universal truth was a moment's lie

F# C#

Don't try to stop us

E B

Don't try to stop us

D A

Don't try to stop us

A C#

Get out of the way

D Bm E

Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see

D Bm E

She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs

D Bm E

Animals on TV singing about some they may felt at some point

D Bm E

(let ring)

I didn't want to tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?

Bm A F#m E

As I watched the velvet drapes appear

Bm A F#m E

And the door was closed for fourty years

Bm E A D C#m

As we hide what we don't wanna hear

Bm E A D C#m

As we hide what's really in our ears

Bm A F#m E

He is coming from a part of hell

Bm A F#m E

Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well

Bm A F#m E

He can't tell that we're oblivious

Bm A F#m E

It's addiction of routine as well

Bm E A D C#m

Making fools out of the best of us

Bm E A D C#m

Making robots of the rest of us

Bm E A D C#m

Innocence itself in America today

Bm E A D

There's a crime just like Cornel West might say

F# C#

Don't try to stop us

E B

Don't try to stop us

D A

Don't try to stop us

A C#

Get out of the way
