Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I can't [Am]get stoned, Ricky.
What do you mean?
It's shitty work.
Everybody does that, alright?
Carpenters, electricians, dishwashers,
floor cleaners,
lawyers, [F]doctors, [Am]fucking politicians,
CBC employees, principals,
people who paint the laws
on the fucking roads.
Get stoned, it'll be fun, [C5]get to work.
[Dm]Rowd[Am]y and reckless, ruckus -induci[C5]ng
In [Am]doubt I'll be restless
and stuck with these mood swings
Ruling rights don't [F]govern us
[Am]as long as they're movin[C]g
[C5]A fa[Am]therless nat[F]ion,
[Am]not [F]from how w[Am]e're choosing
[Dm]Chos[Am]e to be a bastard,
I feel I've hit the [C]label
Could[Am]n't kill any [F]of my siblings[Am]
as [F]long as [Am]I'm able
Open -handed, un[F]branded,
[Am]my cards[F] are o[Am]n the tabl[C]e
[C5]One [Am]to nature, birds openly shari[F]ng[Am]
[C5]fables[Dm][C5][Am][C][Am][C5][Am][C5]
[Dm]God [Am]-bent on doctr[Dm]ine
[Am][Dm][Am][C5][Am][C]
[Am]Don't be the doctrine,
learn your [Dm]lesson
No [C]doubt, [Am]non -responsive,
keep you [A]guessing[Dm][Am]
In this present crisis
Government [F]is [Am]not the solution
to our problem
Government is the problem
[Dm]I go[Am]t sore in my hand[F]s
[Am]and my f[F]ists a[Am]re c[C]lenched
[Am]Blood spills on this [F]land
[Am]and I'm feeling vexed
Stressed by the prospect of
death without [C]reason
Feel[Am]ing retribut[F]ion [Am]while
[F]I'm sti[Am]ll breathing
[Dm]Leav[Am]ing no man s[F]tanding,
lest [Am]he be[C] righteous
Aban[Am]donment, [F]granted[Am],
already sank down
Rising like [F]ti [Am]tans, slaying the [C]fat cats
[Am]Howling like [F]lycans,
[Am]lacing these fat t[C5]rack[Dm]s[Am][C5]
Num[Dm]b in the do[Am]ctrine[Dm][Am][C]
Num[Am]b in the doctrine
Learn your [Dm]lesson
[Am]Numb down, unresponsive,
keep you guessing
Open the doctrine,
let your [Dm]lesson flow down
[Am]Life was born to keep you guessing
[G][F][G][Am]
Stateism depends [G]on the idea
that [F]the government owns us
and [Am]the citizens must [G]obey[F]
The [Am]draft, or even the mere [G]ex istence
of the Select[F]ive Service
emphas[Am]izes that we will march on
to war [G]at the state's [F]pleasure.[Am]
In this present crisis,
government is not the solution
to our problem.
Government is the problem.
Rowdy and reckless,
ruckus -in[C]ducing,
[Am]endowed to be [F]racist
and [Am]stuck with these mood swings
of holding ortho [F]-government
as [Am]long as [C]it's moving,
[Am]a fatherless [F]nation,
[Am]not from our choos[Dm]ing
[Am]Chose to be a bastard,
I feel I've hit the [C]label
Could[Am]n't kill as m[F]uch siblings
as [Am]long as I'm able
I'm hunted, I'm branded,
my cards are on the [C]table
Wan[Am]dering age of violence,
openly sharing [Dm]fables[Am][C]
[Dm]Not by the d[Am]octrine[Dm][Am]
[C]Not[Am] by the doctrine
Learn your lesson
Learn to not respond to keep you guessing
Not by the doctrine
Learn your [C]lesson
[Am]Learn to not respond to keep you guessing
You
