Homogenized and oh so bleak
Em              G

Just to act like a xxxxxxx slob

Save 16 bricks for the façade

There's a two day fun permit

At the end of every week

You're screaming in our streets

Take down everything we made

Cause they were made for the working stiff
                G
With a two day fun permit
