C# E
A Cadillac drives down my street
C# E
A bead of sweat pouring slow down a palm line
C# E
I see a bumper sticker: a bearded man with a wanted sign
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A myth we've made to scare our fears away
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A slogan that we slap on all out misdirected hate
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
But it's really just a desert corpse we painted on a wall out in some cave
C# E C# E
Anyway, I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
C# E C# E
C# E
My neighborhood drunk's on line at the deli
C# E
With his shaky hands and his swollen face he waits for his coffee
C# E
He blacks out curbside every night, then every day crawls back towards Wall Street
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
So I don't see it like it's "us" and "them"
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we've wanted
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever-dangling carrot
C# E
And I'm tired of it
C# E
Well, who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?

Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
I know it seems dramatic but I treat it like a crisis
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
From the office to the coffin, all our time and talent wasted
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
And that weight against your throat, is that a noose dressed like a necklace?
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
'Cause from here, I couldn't really tell the difference
C# E C# E
Either way I say let's not take any chances
C# E
'Cause I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
A cadillac drives down my street
A bead of sweat pourin slow down a palm line
I see a bumper sticker
It's a bearded man with a wanted sign
A myth we've made to scare out fears away
A slogan that we slap on all our misdirected hate
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain
But it's really just a desert corpse
We've painted on the wall out in some cave
Anyway
I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
My neighborhood drunk's on line at the deli
With his shaky hands and his swollen face he waits for his coffee
He blacks out curbside every night
And every day crawls back towards wall street
So I don't see it like it's us and them
I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we wanted
Heavy legs two steps behind some forever dangling carrot
And I'm tired of this
So who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?
And I know it seems dramatic
But I treat it like a crisis
The office to the coffin
All our time and talent wasted
And that weight against your throat
Is that a noose dressed like a necklace?
From here I couldn't

'Cause I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
No I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
No I don't know where he's gonna park that thing

for the last part of the song, its variations of the "i dont know where hes gonna park
that thing" melody and the E/A, E structure (with the hammer on the 2nd fret of the high
e string)
A cadillac drives down my street
A bead of sweat pourin slow down a palm line
I see a bumper sticker
It's a bearded man with a wanted sign
A myth we've made to scare out fears away
A slogan that we slap on all our misdirected hate
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain
But it's really just a desert corpse
We've painted on the wall out in some cave
Anyway
I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
My neighborhood drunk's on line at the deli
With his shaky hands and his swollen face he waits for his coffee
He blacks out curbside every night
And every day crawls back towards wall street
So I don't see it like it's us and them
I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we wanted
Heavy legs two steps behind some forever dangling carrot
And I'm tired of this
So who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?
And I know it seems dramatic
But I treat it like a crisis
The office to the coffin
All our time and talent wasted
And that weight against your throat
Is that a noose dressed like a necklace?
From here I couldn't
Really tell the difference
Either way I say
Let's not take any chances
'Cause I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
No I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
No I don't know where he's gonna park that thing
