"I read... sometimes that´s just...    ...place"


You get the idea by listening to the record. There is basically no change in 
the theme after Conor sings "Let´s *** it up boys, make some noise!", that´s 
just the trumpet part. You may improvise (do not forget to hit the C on the 
b-string after each note) during the noisy solo part and come back to the 
main theme for the last verse. Just finish on a C major chord.


The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary´s humming
I´m wide awake it´s morning

I´ve got my drugs, I´ve got my woman
they keep away my lonliness
my parents they´ve got their religion
but sleep in different houses

I read the Body count out of the paper
now it´s written all over my face
noone plans to sleep out in the gutter
sometimes that´s just the most comfortable place

So  I´m writting, drinking, strumming, singing
every day I´m on the clock
my mind races with all my longings
but I can´t keep up with what I got

So I hope I don´t sound too ungrateful
what history gave modern men
a telephone to talk to strangers
machine guns and a camera lense

So when you´re asked to fight a war that´s over nothing
it´s best to join the side that´s gonna win
and noone knows how all of this got started
but we´re gonna make them goddamn certain how it´s gonna end

oh yeah, we will
oh yeah, we will

Well, I could have been a famous singer
if I had someone else´s voice
but failure´s always sounded better
let´s *** it up boys make some noise

The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary´s humming
I´m wide awake it´s morning
