Tom: E A Try not to think so much about E Fm The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record B All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining E The high gloss The tape and the gear Try not to become too consumed With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait The acrylic, the varnish Aluminum tubes filled with latex The solvents and dye Fm B Lets just call this what it is A Fm The jealous side of mankind's death wish B When it's my time to go E A Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose
