Capo 4th fret
[Verse 1]
  AIt’s less sad that it should be to find a dead guy dressed up as Batman
His Gpenis out, with a magazine
And a FGo-Gurt hanging out of his mouth Ebut you know
[Chorus 1]
We say “Ahey now”, this is America
We got some Gtime to kill, and we need a thrill
So we Fdie doing the dumbest of shitE, here we go
[Verse 2]
We got Apeople hanging out at abandoned malls, trying to get the dead people to talk to on
GWith a little rigged up Bluetooth thing
With a Ffeather kicking out of the back Eand you know
[Chorus 2]
They got AGo-Gurts, ’cos this here’s America
We got some Gtime to kill, and we need a thrill
So we Fdie doing the dumbest of shitE, here we go
[Verse 3]
We got a Aguy going sixty on a six foot unicycle, gunning down a road that is made of gravel 
And he’s Gbarreling, towards a hanging bag
That is Ffull of flaming Go-Gurts and now Ehe is dead
[Outro]
I said “Ahey now”, this is America

[Verse 1]

It’s less sad that it should be to find a dead guy dressed up as Batman

His penis out, with a magazine

F E

And a Go-Gurt hanging out of his mouth but you know

[Chorus 1]

We say “hey now”, this is America

We got some time to kill, and we need a thrill

F E

So we die doing the dumbest of shit, here we go

[Verse 2]

We got people hanging out at abandoned malls, trying to get the dead people to talk to on

With a little rigged up Bluetooth thing

F E

With a feather kicking out of the back and you know

[Chorus 2]

They got Go-Gurts, ’cos this here’s America

We got some time to kill, and we need a thrill

F E

So we die doing the dumbest of shit, here we go

[Verse 3]

We got a guy going sixty on a six foot unicycle, gunning down a road that is made of gravel

And he’s barreling, towards a hanging bag

F E

That is full of flaming Go-Gurts and now he is dead

[Outro]
