[Chorus]:
C F C G C G
There's something ugly inside of you, inside of you
C F C G C G

There's something creepy crawling on your brain
F G
There's something in you, it's red white and blue inside of you
[ C Bb F C ] x4
[Verse]:
As long as you don't have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won't be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won't tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see
[Chorus]:
There's something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There's a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don't be a baby -- there's a Pete Brady inside of you
[ C Bb F C ] x4 (with "Inside of you"s)
Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars. (This is the "Boy, I really
learned a lot today" part.)

Bb F C
Two: You don't try to be something you're not
