They Might Be Giants


Tom: D

D               Bm
I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich
G                         Em
Straight from the can, it tasted so bland
  Asus4 A   Asus2 A  Asus4   A Asus2 A
I asked the lass  to pass me a glass
  Asus4    A  Asus2   A      Asus4 A Asus2 A
Of Engels' Conditions of the Working Class
D                          Bm
Right away they dragged me to the committee
     G                  Em
To explain my un-American activity
        Asus4 A        Asus2 A  Asus4  A Asus2 A
They're gonna see they made  a  mistake
          Asus4 A      Asus2 A  Asus4   A Asus2 A
If they'd only  let me play  my mixtape

        Em             A
I'm not partial to the martial
       Em                   A
Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats
          G                 D
And the fascists have the outfits
           G               D
But I don't care for the outfits
          G           D
What I care about is music
           G                 D
And the communists have the music

A
I hear a melody
G
And just as suddenly
D                  A
I know who I'm supposed to be

D              Bm
I don't need a rationale
   G              Em
To sing the Internationale
  Asus4 A       Asus2    A  Asus4     A   Asus2 A
I only  need to plug in the headphone jack
   Asus4 A      Asus2 A  Asus4   A     Asus2 A
So I can listen to    my backing track

        Em               A
I'm not jealous of the zealous
      Em               A
Or anarchics with guitar picks
          G                   D
And the fascists have their outfits
           G               D
But I don't care for the outfits
          G           D
What I care about is music
           G                 D
And the communists have the music
            G                 D
Yes, the communists have the music
           G                 D
Oh, the communists have the music

A
I hear a melody
G
And just as suddenly
D                  A
I know who I'm supposed to be

        Em             A
I'm not partial to the martial
       Em                   A
Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats
          G                 D
And the fascists have the outfits
           G               D
But I don't care for the outfits
          G           D
What I care about is music
           G                 D
And the communists have the music
            G                 D
Yes, the communists have the music
           G                 D
Oh, the communists have the music
