Verse 1
our children just like an animal.
G
Am
We 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,
G
Am
Then they 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
Am
G
Am
York time
Anger, sadness, hatred, envy
G
Am
These are just fear wearing
the same old cheap mask
G
Am
You're doomed if you don't
learn forgiveness, sister.
G
Am
We're 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
Am
Following corrupt wise men who've
been navigating by the wrong star

Now
Dm
Am
they tell me
there's some guy down in
Dallas named
Ole
G
Am
He's running some
type of early
Christian
community down there
G
Am
Gnostic gospel said whatever you bring
G
Am
forth will save you, everything you don't
Am
Christ 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.
G
Am
Meanwhile people are living in the gutter holding signs,
G
Am
G
Am
have you hugged your kid today?
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
G
So it's always back to living with yourself or
Grandpa said don't put the
horse before the cart
Me,
G
I'm just an old alligator swimming through dark,
And, uh, alligators have four
G
Am
-chambered hearts
woman couple up
Am
There's really four people always talking,
talking
Or just one big old crocodile
G
Dm
Crocodiles have four
G
Dm
Am
-chambered hearts
G
Dm
I said crocodiles have four
D
Am
-chambered hearts
G
Dm
Am
Crocodiles have four -chambered bodies.
