G Em D C
Termites are eating my home, and squirrels laugh at me through the walls.
G Em D C
I hate to admit it, but most days I wake up and follow the laws.
G Em D C
And I used to dream my beliefs would lead me onto barricades with Molotovs,
G Em D C
but mostly they lead me straight to a line at the post office to send zines to someone behind
G
bars.

This city is killing me. Pretty sure New Haven PD wants all of my friends to go down.
Em D C G
I walk down to Whaley and think of my fellow felons sleeping on overcrowded room grounds.
Em D C
My girlfriend can’t handle the life that I lead. So I wander around this country,
G Em D C
sleep on couches, play shows for twenty kids, hoping they’ll house me. (Sorry I'm allergic to cats)

G Em D C
Some just talk a good game - I can’t even do that.
G Em D C
Some just want to look cool - I don’t even wear black.
G Em D C
Some just want an excuse for crime and destruction.
G Em D C
I’m too afraid to shoplift, because last time I got busted.

I can promise you this, Officer Smith: you don’t need to piss-test me or re-arrest me.
D Em
I’m just playing these shows, I’m a law-abiding citizen.
C
Please give me my license back. I no longer sell crack.
G D
I’m just 33, rapping, broke, trying my hardest to cope on the road. Almost all of my homies know that.
