"I read... sometimes that´s just... ...place"
You get the idea by listening to the record. There is basically no change in
the theme after Conor sings "Let´s *** it up boys, make some noise!", that´s
just the trumpet part. You may improvise (do not forget to hit the C on the
b-string after each note) during the noisy solo part and come back to the
main theme for the last verse. Just finish on a C major chord.
The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary´s humming
I´m wide awake it´s morning
I´ve got my drugs, I´ve got my woman
they keep away my lonliness
my parents they´ve got their religion
but sleep in different houses
I read the Body count out of the paper
now it´s written all over my face
noone plans to sleep out in the gutter
sometimes that´s just the most comfortable place
So I´m writting, drinking, strumming, singing
every day I´m on the clock
my mind races with all my longings
but I can´t keep up with what I got
So I hope I don´t sound too ungrateful
what history gave modern men
a telephone to talk to strangers
machine guns and a camera lense
So when you´re asked to fight a war that´s over nothing
it´s best to join the side that´s gonna win
and noone knows how all of this got started
but we´re gonna make them goddamn certain how it´s gonna end
oh yeah, we will
oh yeah, we will
Well, I could have been a famous singer
if I had someone else´s voice
but failure´s always sounded better
let´s *** it up boys make some noise
The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary´s humming
I´m wide awake it´s morning
