Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Some people wanna tell you it’s fine

 To spend your whole life standing in line

 Well go on ahead, join the living dead

 I’ve got a different plan for mine

 When the sun comes over the sea

 I’ll tell you where I’m a’ gonna be

Riding in the van with the rest of my band

 The wheels singing in my dreams

 Oh please forgive me if I can’t learn to live in your

 Generic America

 Where the waving fields got paved

 The kids were out looking for a rave

 And the rest of us sat on our big fat ass

Watching the Rose Bowl parade

 Oh why can’t you see that I can’t be me in your

 Generic America

 Don't wanna live vicariously

 In a virtual reality

Shopping malls and prison walls

All look the same to me

GUITAR BREAK (same as intro)

 So don’t try to tell me it’s fine

 Don’t tell me that I’m wasting my time

 Everybody line up, piss in a cup

 You gotta be out of your mind

 ‘Cause I’ll do it anywhere I choose

 All over your designer shoes

 Beware of a ruffian who ain’t got nothing

 He ain’t got nothing to lose

 Oh please forgive me if I can’t learn to live in your

 Generic America

 Where the waving fields got paved

 The kids were out looking for a rave

 And the rest of us sat on our big fat ass

Watching the Rose Bowl parade

 Oh why can’t you see that I can’t be me in your

 Generic America

 Don't wanna live vicariously

 In a virtual reality

Shopping malls and prison walls

All look the same to me
