Lyrics :
There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And I can't stop staring back, how did I get this way?
Take a big look at a living lie
Chorus-
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to riches was a bust
Sometimes I dream about what it's like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussywillow
But I had to leave it and I'll go back
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
Repeat Chorus
Busted once again
Well, I'll show them one day
That I can buy and sell the world
And one day I'll come through my American dream
But it won't mean a XXXXing thing
Repeat Chorus

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 EELS 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.
