Intro: A5 D5

G5                  C5       G5       C5       G5       D5
Candy coated cannibalistic news flashed across the screen
       G5                     C5              G5
Stay tuned we'll define what's wrong and what's right
       C5       G5       D5
What's obscure and what's obscene

       C5                     D5
And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance
       G5                     C5
As his pants split right down the seam

       G5              D5
But if I ever get my break for God's sake
C5                     G5
I'm gonna make my break clean
       C5              D5                     G5                     C5
Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time I can beat down this dirty old scene
       G5              D5
But if I ever get my break
       C5              G5
I'm gonna make my break clean

A5 D5

G5                                 C5         G5
I've got bars on my windows and lines on my face
    C5       G5           D5
I can't compete in this race
G5                                 C5         G5
I don't like it when she's on the street at night
        C5       G5     D5
She can barely go anyplace

       C5              D5
And everybody wants control of her body,
           G5                     C5
and I'm hoping the choice might be me

       G5           D5
If I ever get my break for God's sake,
C5                     G5
I'm gonna make my break clean

G5                     D5
If you ever give me a break
C5                     G5
I'm gonna make my break clean

C5                     D5                     G5              C5
Shake me I've painted myself in the corner of an escape artist's dream
                            D5
And you know I believe it cause I just can't leave it
G5                          C5
I don't really know what it means

C5                            D5
I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt
G5                     C5
I'm fading as fast as my jeans

G5              D5
If I ever get my break for God's sake
C5                     G5
I'm gonna make my break clean
