[Verse 1]  
My Amwords are Emweapons, in Gwhich I Dsus2murder you with
PlAmease don't Embe scared, Gplease do Dsus2not turn your head
We Amare the fEmuture, the 2G1st centuDsus2ry dyslexic, glue sniffing cAmyberslutsEm  
With hoGmicidal minds and hDsus2andguns
We are iAmnsane, nothing will cEhange
We are iCsus7nsane, nothing will cDsus2hange
[Chorus]
ThAmere is a thin Gline between what is Egood and what is evil andE7  
I Amwill tiptoe dEmown that line, but I Fwill feel unstable
My Amlife is a ciGrcus and I am triEpping down that tightropeE7  
WeAmll, there is nothing to saGve me now, so FI will not look down
And aAmgain, and Emagain, and aGgain, and it Dsus2happens agaAmin
And aAmgain, and EmagainG  
[Verse 2]

TaAmke back your sEmoul, forget yoGur emptinDsus2ess
[Chorus]
ThAmere is a thin Gline between what is Egood and what is evil andE7  
I Amwill tiptoe dEmown that line, but I Fwill feel unstable
