MOTHER SAID "THEY'LL BE NO WORK NEXT YEAR"

JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME

DOESN'T MEAN I AM LAZY

JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING FORWARDS

DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING BACKWARDS

-NOW STRUM THE CHORDS BEFORE YOU GET TO THE NEXT VERSE I'VE DONE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES

NEEDED BUT YOU LL NEED TO LISTEN FOR THE TIMING-ALSO THROUGH IN SOME UPSTROKES-

JUST BECAUSE I DRESS LIKE THIS

DOESN'T MEAN I'M A COMMUNIST

I'VE COME TO SEEK THE LAND OF THE FREE

THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR A CHOSEN FEW
