Lyrics:
(Verse):
I read the papers and I know which way you're going.
I watch the T.V. and it shows how little you're knowing.
I call you up when you're around but you don't hear me.
You hear the words but still don't hear, you don't even know me.
(Chorus):
Wake up, this ain't no vacation, she cries, for my reputation, hatred has
never looked that good on you.
I know, she's in ovulation, can't see, the real destination, hatred has
never looked that good on you.
(Verse):
Why sit around while you look down and dance with junkies?
Makes you look weak, makes you look pale, makes you fall down, makes you
look,
(Bridge):
You're raised and you can't see hate on the inside.
Wake up. Your ignorance is free, hate on the outside.
(Spoken):
Keep your arms and hands inside the car at all times.
Time to shave your head and put your Doc Marten boots on!!
E-mail me with any questions, comments or changes. I hope you enjoy the tab!
Luke
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 SMASH MOUTH 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.
