A Life Embossed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
A breed? No, [D]a series of breeds.
It's not a single type or a [G]single [D]gloss,
But they're singled out at half the cost.
Cast off and cast out and almost lost
Is the inno[Bb]cent [D]cry of [Fm]a life [Ab]em b[A]ossed.
[D]The innocen[Bb]t cry[D] of a life e[Ab]m bos[A]sed.
[Eb]A judgment

[Verse 2]
[Gm]based in h[G]uman[A] e[D]rror.
[Eb]A snap decisio[Gm]n[G]
[A]made in crippling ter[D]ror.
[Eb]A se[Gm]ntence passed down
[Ab]from shaking hands[D].

[Verse 3]
[D]
Caving and twisting to frightened de
[Cm]mand[F#5]s of t[D]he disillusioned masses[Cm]
[F#5]To slap t[D]he wrist of the
lower [F#5]classes of [D]life.
To slap [Cm]the wrist,
to [F#5]slap the... w[Cm]rist[Fm]
[Bb][Eb][Ab][G]

[Verse 4]
[Cm]
It will [Fm]be no defense,
[Bb]despite the nurt[Eb]uring influence.
[Ab]The nature's decided[G],
the plan is [Cm]divine.
And if you should feel [Fm]remorse [Bb]anywhere
in[Eb]side you throughout the course
[Ab]Of this abomination,[G]
you should feel grate[Bm]ful[G][Bm][G][Bm][G][A]
Grateful to [D]feel anything [A]at [D]all.
[A]Grateful to [D]feel any[A]thing at all.
[D]Grateful [A]to [D]feel anything.
[A]Grateful[D] to feel any[Fm]thing.[A]
[D]You are the [Fm]heartless.[A]
[D]You are the [Fm]soulless [A]beast.
[D]Trained to kil[Fm]l, but[D] unwilling[Ab]
[D]Trained to [Fm]kill,
[Eb]but unwilling to bear [D]witness.[Ab][D]
Grateful to feel anything at all.
[Fm]

[Verse 5]
[D]Maybe you should concentrate
On the vicious people and
the alarming rate
[Fm]Of murderers and drug dealers
with whom you share
No regard for life before you [D]set and
ensnare the [Cm]same victims.
[Eb]Out [Bb]lining t[D]he q[Cm]uali[Eb]ties by[D][Eb]
[Bb]com bini[D]ng v[Eb]ar i[D]ed breeds.
[Eb]Breed [Cm]specific [D]leg[Eb]isla[D]tion falls
[Eb]flat [Cm]on its only [D]short [Eb]snout.[D]
[Eb]A death sq[Cm]uad as[D]sembled.
[Eb]Why [D]put up a fight?
[Eb]The [Cm]round up r[D]esembles a[Eb] Cry[D]stal Night.
[Cm][Fm][Bb][Eb][Ab][Eb][Ab]

[Verse 6]
[G][Bm]
[Cm]In relation to tempe[Fm]rament,
[Bb]they pass with an ov[Eb]erwhelming percent[Ab].
The American pit [G]bull v. the
American dream.
[Cm]The task is ou[Ab]rs t[Cm]o keep our[Bb]
dogs and children [Cm]safe.
Disregard the [Ab]media,
or the [Eb]province, or [Bb]the state.
With [Ab]a different target
every decade or so,
[Cm]You can wait until they break
into [Bb]your [Cm]home.
Repeat [G]the [Ab]lies you've bought and sold
and say, "You should look up the facts?"
When you should look up the
facts your fuckin' self.
Or you [Cm]could stand for a dog that's not your
own because your own damn dog [G]is next.[Ab]
I'm proud of every [Cm]pit b[Ab]ull,
but ashamed of my [Eb]own coun[Cm]try.
I oppose any legislature that
should try and stop me
[Ab]And if a pit bull is a weapon,
you'll have to pry [Eb]them
[Ab]And if a pit bull is a weapon,
you'll have to pry [Bb]them[Cm]
I won't stop until [Bb]they lift [Cm]these,
these ridiculous [Bb]bans.
An[Ab]d if a pit bull is a weapon,
you'll have [Eb]to pry them
[Cm]And if a[Ab] pit bull is a weapon,
you'll have to pry [Bb]them [Cm]from my cold, dead hands.
