[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
C G
The boat was taking on water from a hole
D G
So I made a second hole to let the water out
C G
The boat was taking on water from a hole
D G
So I made a second hole to let the water out
C G
I couldn’t hear the sailor’s daughter
D G C G D G
‘Cause I don’t listen to people when they shrill and they shout
[Verse 2]
C G
My brother was being torn apart by panthers
D G
So I bought a bunch of panthers as pets
C G
My brother was being torn apart by panthers
D G
So I should have bought several panthers as pets
C G
My dad was dying of lung cancer
D G
So I bought my kids a carton of cigarettes
C G
You might say that I’m an asshole
D G
I’m just trying to fit in with my scene
C G
And while the fire is burning
D G
Let’s make a bunch more gasoline
C G
And while the fire is burning
D G
Let’s make a bunch more gasoline
[Interlude]
C G D G
C G D G
[Verse 3]
C G
And if I drove a car here
D G
I’m a hypocrite, I shouldn’t have nothing to say
C G
And if I didn’t drive a car here
D G
You probably wish I would shut up anyway
C G
The only people with a right to an opinion
D G
Are the friends of the oil companies
C G
Let’s have another benefit for the victims of the symptoms
D G C G D G
Where it’s forbidden to speak of the disease
[Verse 4]
C G
Future people will think that we are assholes
D G
We were just trying to fit in with our scene
C G
And while the fire is burning
D G
Let’s make a bunch more gasoline
C G
And while the fire is burning
D G
Let’s make a bunch more gasoline
C
And while the fire is burning
G D G
Let’s improve our capacity to ship more gasoline
