Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Try not to think so much about

The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record

All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining

The high gloss

The tape and the gear

Try not to become too consumed

With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait

The acrylic, the varnish

Aluminum tubes filled with latex

The solvents and dye

Lets just call this what it is

The jealous side of mankind's death wish

When it's my time to go

Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose

Try not to dwell so much upon

How it won't be so very long from now that they laugh at us for selling

A bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones singing "oh yeah"

Again and again

Right up to the end

Lets just call this what it is

The jealous side of mankind's death wish

When it's my time to go

Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose
