[Verse]
ABlack hole, paradise found
GSome so dark and Dsome so bright
ABlue sky over our heads
CWhy the hell is everything Dturning out gray now?
AAll things are not what they seem
The Gman behind the curtain he Dprobably mean
ADeep six keeps the population down
GBroke and soaking wet, lost and Dfloating around
[Chorus]
AKeep your head down, Akeep your voice down
Ohh Glisten to the Dsound
CAll the races, Call the faces
Just might find a Gwinner lying Don the Aground
ALearn to take it, ATry to shake it
ACan't fake it GnowD  
CFrom the cradle you've been labeled
CAbout as stable as a Gdrunk on Dshaky Bground
 B-  D  
[Verse]
ABlind luck stumbled into a tree
I Gwould've passed by if DI could have seen
AGot no cares, never felt pressed
I Cwonder what they're getting for a Dpound of flesh?
AMark it down now throwing a shoe
Old Gdogs new tricks Something Dthey can't use
ADeep six keeps the population down
GSouls wet and broke, lost and Dfloating around
[Chorus]
AKeep your head down Akeep your voice down
Ohh Glisten to the Dsound
CAll the races, Call the faces
Just might find a Gwinner lying Don the Aground
ALearn to take it, try to shake it
Can't fake it Gnow, Dnow
CFrom the cradle you've been labeled
CAbout as stable as a Gdrunk on Dshaky Bground
[Solo]  B- D  
[Verse]
ABlack hole, paradise found
GSome so dark and Dsome so bright
ABlue sky over our heads
CWhy the hell is everything Dturning out gray now?
AAll things are not what they seem
The Gman behind the curtain he Dprobably mean
ADeep six keeps the population down
GBroke and soaking wet, lost and Dfloating around
[Chorus]
AKeep your head down, Akeep your voice down
Ohh Glisten to the Dsound
CAll the races, Call the faces
Just might find a Gwinner lying Don the Aground
ALearn to take it, ATry to shake it
ACan't fake it GnowD  
CFrom the cradle you've been labeled
CAbout as stable as a Gdrunk on Dshaky Bground
