C# G#
Red alert is the color of panic
C# F#
Elevated to the point of static
C# G#
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
F# G#
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
C# G#
Idle thought leads to full throttle screaming
C# F#
And the welfare is asphyxiating
C# G#
Mass confusion is all the new rage
F#
And it's creating a feeding ground
G#
For the bottom feeders of

[Verse 2]
C# G#
True sounds of maniacal laughter
C# F#
And the deaf mute is misleading the choir
C# G#
The punchline is a natural disaster
F# G#
And it's sung by the unemployed
C# G#
Fight fire with a riot
C# F#
The class war is hanging on a wire
C#
Because the martyr
G#
is a compulsive liar
F#
When he said "It's just
a bunch of niggers
G#
throwing gas into the"
