The eco[Gm]nomy

[Verse 1]
is in an up[G]roar
The whole damn countries
is in the red
Tax and fairs are going up
You say, "Billy Green is dead"?
The government can't
decide on bussin'
or at least thats what they said

[Verse 2]
Yea I heard you, when [G]you told me
You said, "Billy Green was dead"
But let me tell you bout these hot- pants
that this big legged sister wore
when i partied with the alphas
what?
Billy took an overdose
well now junkies will be junkies
but did you see Gunsmoke last night?
man they [Gm]had them[G]selves a shootout and folks
was [F#m]dyin' left and right
At the [G]en d when Matt was cornerd i had
damn near give up hope
What [F#m]you? Why you keep on

[Verse 3]
interrupting me? [G]you say,
My son is taking dope?
Call the law and call the doctor!
What you mean i shouldn't scream?
My only [F#m]son is taking dope?
[G]Should i sit here like I'm pleased?
[G]Is that familiar

[Verse 4]
anybody?

[Verse 5]
Check out whats inside your head
Because it never seems to [G]matter
when it's Billy Green [F]who's dead[F#]
