[Intro]
Em F#m Em C Em D Em
[Verse]
EmSome sell their bodies, C/Gsome sell their minds
DI sell October and NoEmvember
With a Emphone that's full of numbers
And a C/Gbag that's full of scissors
And a DNissan that is slouching down in Emdeep mud
Now I'm Emdrinking blockade liquor
With C/Gall the cherry pickers
And the Ddead are always Dsuswhining Don the Emstereo
The Emsnap of the fiskars
As C/Gthey slice off the whiskers
Of the Dproduct that is Dsussold Dout in EmFlorida
