D D6 C/D Gmaj/D
So you think I'm a tough kid, is that what you heard?
D D6 C/D Gmaj/D
Well, I like to see some action it gets into my blood
D D6
They call me the trail blazer, Rael electric razor
C/D Gmaj/D
I'm the pitcher in the chain gang, we don't believe in pain
D D6
'Cos we're only as strong, 'Cos we're only as strong
C/D Gmaj/D
As the weakest link in the chain
D D6
Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen
C/D Gmaj/D
I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean

D D6 C/D Gmaj/D
You say, I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit
D D6 C/D Gmaj/D
But I know it's me that's hitting out, and I'm, I'm not full of sh*t
D D6
I don't care who I hurt, I don't care who I do wrong

Dm A6
As I cuddled the porcupine
Dm A6 Dm A6 Dm
He said, I had none to blame, but me
Dm A6
Held my heart, deep in hair
Dm A6 Dm A6 Dm
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
A6
No time for romantic escape
Bbmaj7 C Dm A6 Dm
When your own fluffy heart is ready for rape, no
A6
No time for romantic escape

When your own fluffy heart is ready for rape, no

[Verse 3] - Picked
D D6
You're sitting in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real
C/D Gmaj/D
You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel
D D6
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash
C/D Gmaj/D
But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash
D D6
And I've tasted all the strongest meats and laid them down on colored sheets
C/D Gmaj/D
Laid them down on colored sheets
D D6
Who needs illusion of love and affection
C/D Gmaj/D
When you're out walking in the streets with your mainline connection, connection
