The Incident chords and lyrics - YARD ACT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]Oi, oi, stop, come back, you

[Verse 2]
I was instrumental in creating [Em]the
company
A founding father of the movement,
some say
Had a hundred youngsters under my
guidance at any one time
Willing to learn, eager to please
And salar[G]ied with the [Em]im plicit threat
of an instant dismissal
[G](Oi, I'm warning [Am]you)
All legal [G]mind, hey
Meager scraps for tender prey
But [Am]everybody gotta [G]learn sometime
and you [A]learn that the hard [G]way
In the [Em]bustling hive of activity known

[Verse 3]
As my, as my holy global enterprise
[Em]We've created rules that
you can't find in the book
A different type of prison for a
brand new type of crook
[G]Hey,

[Verse 4]
[Em]feed me, my mind is [G]greedy,
[Em]massage my ego
And read to me, slow stories
from [G]my youth
[Em]Just like the Beano,
co[G]lonial [Am]overtones, I [G]know
Hey, but [Am]so what?
[A]I lik[G]e the plot and the way[Am] the
[G]colors pop from the page
Don't have to justify my [Em]rage
Being a hypocrite does not devalue the merit
of the accus[G]ations [Em]made
Everybody's got dirt on everybody else in this day and age,
mind
(Come back you little bastard)
(What have you got in your pockets?
Empty your bloody pockets out)

[Verse 5]
I look [Em]good, dead good,
too [G]good, good for [Em]my age
But if I'm not on the receiving end of
[Am]never- end[G]ing compliments
[Em]My thinking implement is bound to be,
in a constant state of discontent
And I'm hellbent on expanding my
heaven- sent empire, [G]ethically
But not at my own expense, [A]no
Peaking [G]through the hole in
the [Am]neighbor's [G]fence
It [A]all [G]looks [Em]pretty good
And just don't look under the hood
The engine [G]is com[Em]pletely
caked in snake oil and old mud
I need something new to pick me up,
because
If I'm [G]not [Em]pumped up,
I'm impotent, I'm dead wood
I'm dead wood
And we [G]don't want a re[Em]peat
[A]of the same thing [Em]happening again
I want to be rel[Am]evant,
[A]I don't wan[G]t to be [Em]a dud

[Verse 6]
We've created rules that [Em]you
can't find in the book
A different type of prison for a
brand new type of [G]crook
[A]Ever since the [G]incident,
[A]my complete in[G]competence
Has [A]been exposed to [G]everyone and
rendered [A]me ir[G]relevant
We've [Em]cre ated rules that
you can't find in the book
A different type of prison for a brand
new type of crook
Ever since the incident,
my complete incompetence
Has [B]been [Em]ex posed to everyone

[Verse 7]
and rendered me irrelevant
[Em]I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelev[G]ant
[Em]I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelev[G]ant
[Em]I'm irreleva[G]nt
[Em]I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
(Ever since the incident,
my complete incompetence)
I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
(Has been exposed to everyone
and rendered me irrelevant)
I'm ir[G]relev[Em]ant

[Verse 8]
I'm [Em]irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
I'm irrelevant
