Tension  
A5                        E5 
Tension it's all that I know  
        A5  
I got tension out in traffic  
        D5  
I got tension in my office  
        A5                                E5 A5  
I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

 A5                                     E5 
After the bad guy killed off all the underdeveloped characters  
  F#5                                A5 
The good guy put a bullet right through his head  
                                                     E5 
The screenwriter stood up and told us that all the loose ends had been  
                    F#5 
tied, justice is irrelevant  
                        D5 
Violent problems need violent solutions  
                 A5                          E5 
'Cause in America we like our bad guys dead  
 
It's called box office, baby  
                                  A5  D5  E5  A5 
It's bigger than the damn Stones

A5                                                         E5 
Well they roped off all of my problems and pointed their fingers at addiction  
             F#5                       D5      A5 
'Cause they know if you're doin' the pointin' no one's lookin' at you  
                                                               E5                 
But you know this war on drugs it's funded by the Tobacco and Alcohol Commissions  
                    F#5                                              D5 
It's not what drugs you're strung out on they care about as much as whose  
A5                               E5 
You see people....people still love drugs  
               D5              A5  D5  E5  A5 
Y'all do anyway...I'm over it 
 
Tension  

Tension  

Tension it's all that I know  

I got tension in my classroom  

I got tension in my courtroom  

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

When rock and roll first came around the preachers all went crazy  
    F#5                          D5                  A5 
But soon that wasn't enough to bring people in the door  
A5                                     E5 
So now they jump on any scandal that they can to try and save me  
F#5                                D5                      A5            E5 
'Cause they know I don't buy that crap about the Devil's music anymore  
A5          D5 
Republicans 
                            E5          
That's what scares people these days  
                    A5  D5  E5  A5 
That and Democrats  
 
(Chorus)
