Dolan battle I leave

him dead if it's head to head

Use his brains as a   sandwich spread
Not a man,

Am

like too tight shoes
Am 
Cm 
And bullshit blues

Dm 
Am 
I shot crabs in purgatory with all
Gm 
the brethren I like my bread unleavened
Am 
Like a pito, fajita tortilla
Dm 
Am 
Some shit that comes with a quesadilla
If you love me, I love you, todos los días

Cause I'm a cancer, a bio -cancer
Am 
Like a skin job in
New
Gm 
Romance, erasing lightning
If I met
Vanessa
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Williams seven years ago
She could've been my wife,

Let brothers not be highfalutin'
Dm 
More like
Huey
Am 
Newton
C 
Cm 
Reality shock therapy to
stop fly pollution
Am 
Maybe that's what the internet is
Fuck that shit
That shit is strictly business
Just like rock and roll with
hip -hop and poetry
Am 
What was me  and my gullibility
Am 
Somewhere in me still exists
The
Am 
Dm 
American fantasy
Heather
Locklear's your drink

Ebm 
Steps to
Bliss
I love my family,
cause mom hugs me lovely
She's swinging in
New
England, yeah right like
that's possible
That's like real life being
synonymous with
General
Hospital when I'm the boss of it
Time to find a gun and shoot me,
cause I'll be a fascist
And order 10 ,000 lashes to practice,
which will sure enough kill them all
But watch this get nostalgic and
Dm 
listen to  bootlegs of the fall
And the
Bbm 
Honolulu
Honkeys will play the
Washington
Am 
Whites in football
Dm 
Am 
I don't use the club, I use the car
Gm 
Am 
But keep the fuck away from my car
Dm 
Am 
TV  sucks cause it shows like
Lewis and
Clark
Cm 
Dm 
Let alone the news and the existence
of the cathode ray tube
Am 
Geraldo needs
Jiffy
Lube up his ass
To turn an
Am 
Oklahoma bloodbath into
Am 
cash flow sassafras
Even if he's a liberal,
he's still the residual of
Bojinche culture
And all the other vultures,
who are as good as
Hitler and later
Hosen in the 30s
Which is the same as
George
Bush posing with pork rinds
Playing dirty politics, it's ex -redundant
If I was getting paid for this,
Am 
I would be a pundit
Dm 
Or an advertising,
Am 
Dm 
captain of your mind in merchandising
Gm 
But my name is
Dm 
Am 
Michael, and I   find it funny
Dm 
Am 
If I squeezed a shaman, I'd be
Mr.
Whipple
Cm 
If I was
Jim
C 
Brady, I'd be
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Cripple
If I was
Gm 
Frankie, I should be
Am 
Dm 
Am 
Cm 
Big
If I was
Bbm 
Jewish, my name would be
Jared
Dm 
Ebm 
If I     was
Muslim, it'd be
Bbm 
Ibrahim
Fm 
If I was
Bbm 
Catholic, my name would be
Ebm 
Chris
Bbm 
But I'm a headless, call me
Ebm 
Ten
Steps to
Bbm 
Bliss
Fm 
Bbm 
Ebm 
Steps to bliss, steps to bliss
So, going to going
So,
you
