Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City
[C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[D][G]
So you [D]think I'm a tough kid?
[C]Is that what [D]you heard?[G]
Yeah, well, I [D]like to see some action
And it gets in[C]to [D]my blood[C][D][G]
The [D]call me the trail blazer,
Rael electric razor
I'm the pitch[C]er [D]in a chain gang,
[C]we [D]don't [G]believe in pain
[D]'Cause we're only as strong,
yes, we're only as strong
As [G]the weakest link in [C]the [D]chain[G]
[D]Let me out of Pontiac when
I was just seventeen
I [C]had to get [D]it out of [G]me, if you know what I mean,
what I [Dm]mean[D]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Dm][D]

[Verse 3]
You say I [D]must be crazy
[C]'Cause I d[D]on't car[C]e who[G] I hit,
who I hit
But I [D]know it's me that's hitting out
And [C]I'm, [D]I'm [C]not [G]full of [D]shit
[G]I don't car[D]e who I hurt,
I don't care who I do wrong
This is your [C]mess I'm stuck in,
[D]I really [G]don't belong
When I [D]take out my bottle,
filled up high with gasoline
You [C]can tell by [D]the night fires where [G]Rael has been,
[D]has been

[Verse 4]
As [Dm]I cuddled the por[Am]cupine
[Dm]He said I had none [Am]to blame, but m[Dm]e
Held my heart, deep [Am]in hair
[Dm]Time to shave, shave [Am]it off, i[Dm]t off[D][Dm]
[Em]No t[Dm]ime fo[Am]r romantic escape When

[Verse 5]
[G]
your [Am]fluffy [Gm]hear[C]t is ready for rape,[Am]
[Dm]no[Em][Dm]
[Em]No time fo[A]r roma[Am]ntic escape
When [G]your [A]flu[D]ffy hea[C]rt is ready for[Dm] rape,
[C]no[D][Em][Dm]
[Em]No t[G]ime fo[Am]r romantic escape
When [G]your [Am]fluf[Bb]fy heart[C] is ready for [Dm]rape,[C]
[Dm]oh[Em][A]
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
Off we go
[Dm][Gm]
[D]

[Verse 6]
You're sitting in your comfort
you don't believe I'm real
You can[C]not buy protection from
the [G]way that [D]I feel[G]
[D]Your progressive hypocrites
hand out their trash
But it was [C]mine in the first place,
so I'll [G]burn it to ash
[D]And I've tasted all
the strongest meats
And laid them down in colored sheets
[C]Laid them [G]down in colored sheets
[D]Who needs illusion
Of love and affection
When [C]you're out walking in the streets
With your [G]mainline connection?
Con[D]nec[Dm]tion[D][A][D]

[Verse 7]
As [Dm]I cuddled the porcu[Am]pine
[Dm]He said I [D]had none [Am]to blame, but m[D]e[A]
[Dm]Held my heart, deep [Am]in hair
[Dm]Time to shave, shave [Am]it off, it of[Dm]f

[Verse 8]
[Em]No t[Dm]ime fo[A]r roma[Am]ntic escape
When [G]your [C]fluffy heart is [C]ready for[Dm] rape,
[Am]no[Dm][Em][Dm]
[Em]No time fo[A]r romantic e[Am]scape
When [G]your [C]fluffy heart is
[C]ready [Dm]for [Dm]rape, no
[Em]No time for roma[Am]ntic escape
When [G]your fluffy heart is [C]ready [Dm]for rape,
no [Bb]time[C][D]
