verse 1:
Ab Db
fuck the politically minded, here's something i want to say
Ab Db
about the state of the nation, the way it treats us today
Ab Db Ab Db
At school they give you shit, drop you in the pit
Ab
you try and try to get out, but you can't because they've you about
Ab Db
Then you're the prime example of how they must not be
Ab
this is just a sample of what they've done to you and me
chorus:
Db B Eii Eb
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!
Db B Eii Eb
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!
Db B
do they owe us a living? OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO!
verse 2:
they don't want me anymore because i threw it on the floor
they used to call me sweet thing, but i'm nobody's plaything
and now that i'm different, they'd love to bust my heat
they'd love to see me cop out, they'd love to see me dead
repeat chorus
verse 3:
the living that is owed to me i'm going to get
they've buggered this old world up, up to their necks on debt
they'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done
they'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong.
repeat chorus
verse 4:
don't take any notice to what the public think,
they're so hyped up on tv, they just don't want to think
they'll use you for a target for demands and advice,
when you don't wanna hear it they'll say you're full of vice
repeat chorus
end

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRASS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
