D5          B5
Animals on TV singing 

E5
about some pain that they once felt

D5                B5            E5
There's no one I disapprove of more, or root for more than myself

D5              B5               E5
I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone

D5              B5             E5                             (let ring)
I didn't wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone


      B5   A5        F#5       E5
So we talk about ourselves in hell

      B5      A5       F#5   E5
To forget the love we never felt

        B5    E5        A5    D5  C#5
All the old jokes that work so well

    B5          E5          A5   
Universal truth was a moment's lie

Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Get out of the way

D5             B5                     E5
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see

D5                          B5                   E5
She sees her father in the old man's eyes while secretly he stares at her 
thighs

D5          B5          E5
Animals on TV singing about some they may felt at some point

D5                B5              E5                                (let ring)
I didn't want to tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what's the point?


     B5          A5      F#5    E5
As I watched the velvet drapes appear

        B5       A5          F#5    E5
And the door was closed for fourty years

      B5        E5        A5     D5  C#5
As we hide what we don't wanna hear

      B5          E5      A5      D5  C#5
As we hide what's really in our ears



      B5     A5      F#5     E5
He is coming from a part of hell

           B5        A5          F#5     E5 
Where lightning blue eyes don't go down well

         B5        A5     F#5   E5
He can't tell that we're oblivious

       B5      A5     F#5     E5
It's addiction of routine as well


       B5        E5      A5       D5   C#5
Making fools out of the best of us

       B5     E5      A5       D5   C#5
Making robots of the rest of us

       B5   E5         A5      D5  C#5
Innocence itself in America today

          B5         E5           A5       D5
There's a crime just like Cornel West might say


Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop us
Don't try to stop me
Get out of the way
