Verse 1
Em
Writer low,
the singer sung,
then they went broke,
turned down by everyone
Passed on by Sadler,
Bm
then by BMG, RCA and MCA,
Em
and finally the big three
Am
C
And the writer said,
Bm
I wish you'd hire me,
C
D
but you don't like hearing the truth
Am
C
Well, it's all I've got left,
D
Em
along with my debts and lack of youth
She said, take no chances, just tell lies,
sell your soul and compromise
Bm
Take no chances, just tell lies
B
Don't ask me why

Esus4
Luke spoke, the people gasped,
Em
the synod broke
While he was sitting on his big fat ass
Promises of heaven, promises of hell

And you're just a communist stooge
Am
So for the rest of your days
D
When you call out his name
Em
He'll be Mr. Dick to you
He said
There ain't no Kissinger's
who take their wives
While you're at it, please take mine
Dean, no kissin' James,
Bm
just take mine
Em
F

Shit, here's the missing line

You can grab hold and aim it while I piss,
