Try not to think so much about
                    E                                     Fm
The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record
        B
All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining
     E
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
     A                              Fm
The jealous side of mankind's death wish
                     B
When it's my time to go
E                                     A
Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose
