    Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
G                                       Am        Am      Em                  C   C
    Been shut down I've been kicked around now there's an a-bomb in my heart
G                                  C        C         G                         C   C
    And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
G                                     Am      Am      Em                    G   G
    So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
C
'Cause right now under this fevering moon
         D
I wanna take you for a ride
         Em
To the reasons you need be it hunger or greed
     F
It's ok

[Chorus]
G                       C   C
    Tell me a joke and make me smile
G                            Bm7     Bm7
    Play me the part be the star for a while
Em             D                C             C   C
    Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
G                          C      C
    Gimme a wink, Let me know you're alive
G                                 Bm7   Bm7
    Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Em              D               C
    Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

    For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my mind
G                                   C           C   G                             C   C
    But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a bug-free zone
G                                   Am       Am      Em                               G   G
    So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out

[Pre-Chorus]
C
'Cause right now under this fevering moon

It's all and a little bit more as we come alive again
