Intro 1
(A minor)
(G major) (A minor) (D minor)
(A minor)
Verse 1
We break (A minor) and train
our children just like an animal.
(G major) We (A minor) fill them up with parasites,
poise, and dreams of fear.
We hand them false gods
on a golden platter,
Then we remind them to
watch behind their
ears.
We gave up our own dreams so
the kid could go to college,
Then (G major) they (A minor) grow up and resent us,
accuse us of impossible psychological crime.
The normal relationship in hell
is about getting even
But you won't find that in your
Sunday
New
(F major) York (A minor) time (G major) (A minor)
Anger, sadness, hatred, envy
These (G major) (A minor) are just fear wearing
the same old cheap mask
(G major) You're (A minor) doomed if you don't
learn forgiveness, sister.
(G major) We're (A minor) all driving around lost,
we don't know who to ask.
We're all stopping at abandoned gas
stations to ask direction.
There's no more roadmaps to
tell us who the hell we are.
Raised on
TV commercials, organized religion.
(G major) Fol (A minor) lowing corrupt wise men who've
been navigating by the wrong star
(D minor) When a man and a woman couple up
there's (A minor) really four people talking
Hidden (D minor) people, outer images,
who you gonna start? (E minor) (E major)
So (D minor) two people in love are like one
big old (A minor) crocodile (G major)
Crocodiles have (D minor) four (G major) -chambered
(D minor) hearts (A minor) (G major)
Crocodiles have four
chamber (A minor) s of hearts
Now (G major) (A minor)
(D minor) (A minor) they tell me
there's some guy down in
Dallas named
Ole
He's (G major) (A minor) running some
type of early
Christian
community down there
I'm told. (G major)
(A minor) Well the
Gnostic gospel said whatever (G major) you bring (A minor)
forth will save you, everything (G major) (A minor) you don't
bring forth will shatter your soul. (G major)
Christ (A minor) said my kingdom is not of this world,
but hell, they went and built their
earthly kingdoms anyway.
Then they paid out millions of
dollars to defend
pedophile priests.
Mean (G major) while (A minor) people are living in the gutter holding signs,
have you hugged your kid today? (G major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
We reach the end of the road and find out
no one else can make us happy.
We've waged all the wars of
drama and control.
We've sacrificed it all for wives, husbands,
money, children, false religion
That old line about gaining the
world but losing your soul
So it's always back to living with yourself (G major) or
who (A minor) ever it is living in your body
Grandpa said don't put the
horse before the cart
Me,
I'm just an old alligator swimming through (G major) dark,
(A minor) uncharted waters
And, uh, alligators have four
-chambered (G major) (A minor) hearts
When (D minor) a man and
woman couple up
There's really four (A minor) people always talking,
talking
Hidden (D minor) person, outer person
Where the hell (E major) you gonna start?
Two (D minor) people in love
Or just one big old crocodile
(A minor) Swimming through the mud
Cro (G major) codiles have (D minor) four
-chambered (G major) (D minor) hearts (A minor)
I said (G major) crocodiles have (D minor) four
-chambered (D major) (A minor) hearts
(G major) Crocodiles (D minor) have four -chambered (A minor) bodies.
