Judas Decapitation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Thi[Bm]s is the tale of a be[G]arded sloth
Who de[D]bases himself so [G]they
can get their rocks off.
[Bm]Recruits five [D]skin[G]ny better looking men
To [D]play guitar [G]parts he'll never play again.
So it's [D]lash after lash [G]like
a budget Christ
From every [D]blog or zine that [G]took
the chance to look twice.
[D]I'm not say[Bm]ing t[G]hat this
dude is me
Or speaking [D]brutally of my[G]self
to gain traction. [Bm]Ac t[D]ion!
There [G]goes the camera. [D]Click[G].
Amer[D]ican Indie- Rock [G]is a
game of pricks.
[D]They're the [Bm]gods of what [D]was
[G]independent rock
[D]And now is vaguely re[G]fined
hog[D]wash that I mock.
[Bm]Jacket [D]patched up [G]with
a Wesleyan degree.
[D]Legs bound, tongue [G]out,
grinning as they piss [D]on me
[Bm]But I don't [D]care, [G]it's what I'm known for,[D]
I'll take it glee[G]fully.
[D]I'm wrong

[Verse 2]
[Bm]and [D]you'[G]re right
That's my [D]thesis here [G]tonight
With my [Bm]gut and [D]my b[G]ulge
I'll make the [D]whole world scream,
[G]the whole room bleed
I'll [Bm]lose [D]for [G]your gain
If it'll [D]spruce up my [G]refrain
It's what [Bm]they want.
The [D]band plays [G]while
the ship goes down.
(The[D]ship goes [G]down. The ship
[Bm]goes down.)
"I hate [C#]that [G]dude

[Verse 3]
now that he's married.
[D]He's got a bab[C#]y on [G]the way,
poor Sherri.
That's not [Bm]apropos.
[C#]He's not t[G]he wretch we know.
Chop his [D]family up,
so we [G]can feed them to the front row.
[Bm]Spike [D]his fifteenth [G]espresso with drugs
So he's con[D]vinced it's a manic
[G]delusion to know true love.
[Bm]Be 19 with a[D] joint i[G]n hand.
Never change the [D]band.
Never ever [G]be [D]a... real man."

[Verse 4]
I'm [Bm]wrong and [A]you're [G]right
That's my [D]thesis here [G]tonight
With my [Bm]gut and [D]my b[G]ulge
I'll make the [D]whole world scream,
[G]the whole room bleed
[Bm]I'll lose for [D]your [G]gain
If it'll [D]spruce up my [G]re frain
It's what they want. [Bm]The band plays
[D]while [G]the ship goes down.
(The[D]ship goes down.
[G]The ship goes down.)

[Verse 5]
This isn't for [F#m]the ones [Bm]who
know what it really [G]means.
[Bm]They just follow follow follow o[G]th[F#m]
[Bm]er p[G]eople's dr[F#]eams[Bm].
They [G]were told by [F#m]a friend
[Bm]of a friend of a friend.
[G]Mu sic made [F#m]to be use[Bm]d and forgotten aga[G]in like a who[F#m]re,
[Bm]like a pair of washed out [G]expensive [F#m]ret ro bo[Bm]ys underwear
We can never repair.

[Verse 6]
I'm [Bm]wrong and [G]you're right
That's my [D]thesis here [G]tonight
With my [Bm]gut and [D]my b[G]ulge.
I'll make the [D]whole world scream,
[G]the whole room bleed.
[Bm]I'll [D]lose [G]for your gain
If it'll [D]spruce up my re[G]frain
It's what they [Bm]want. [D]The[G] band
plays while the [D]ship goes down.
The ship [G]goes down!
The ship goes down!
It's what they want!
The band [Bm]plays while[D][G]
the ship [D]goes down
The ship [G]goes down! The ship goes down!
It's what they want!
The band plays [Bm]while[D][G][D][G]
the ship goes down
The ship goes down! The
[D]ship goes down!

[Verse 7]
The band plays while the [D]ship goes down.
The [D]band plays while the ship goes down.
