From an overbearing Federal government
              Bb                  C

           F

Doesn't mean we have to go to war 'cause

You don't really have to be white to bear the burden

Two weeks off

  for every year.
Eb
Unread books.
    Dm
  Expensive beer.
   Dm
Suburban dream house

   2.
Years of toil,
  Enduring lack.
A good-investment
  Cadillac™.
Frozen processed
  food and drink.
Pay a woman to
  clean the sink.
Poison spray to
  kill the bugs.
Two machines to
  clean the rugs.
Why do the kids want
  to look like thugs?
They don't know
  how to think!
   3.
Try to show
  how much I care.
Pay my son to
  cut his hair.
Don't let daughter
  be a mess.
Purchase her a
  decent dress.
Happy to help them
  live their life.
Help my daughter to
  be a wife.
Son doesn't want the
  honor of strife.
Must be lazy
  I guess.

Boys learn sports
  and automobiles.
Girls learn sewing
  and making meals.
Women gossip and
  Men don't cry.
No more labor
  when we die.
Captialism!
  Democracy!
Competition!
  The Brave and Free!
Eveyone else better
  think like me,
And he better
  not ask why!

Work is hard but
  play is fun.
Politics is
  Washington.
Education is
  in the school.
Churches teach
  the Golden rule.
Court is order.
  Cops are laws.
No one said they
  don't have flaws.
But the came's back
  holds plenty of
     straws and
Eb       F       Gm
God will get the fool.
God will get the fool.
Eb       F       G
God will get the fool!

1.
          F
There's a butterfly
       C
in the studio
       Em        D
Bright yellow
       F
How he got inside
  C
  nobody knows
         Em
But he's looking
          D
  for the sun
         Em
But he's looking
  D       C
  for the sun

    Em     (C  Em)
The man on the drums
         D    C   D
Tries to move his arms
   Em          (C  Em)
As fast as the flutter
       D
Of the wings of the
  C
  butterfly
3.
C           Em
The lead guitarist, she's
  D
  working on the words
    C                  Em
She wants to make them work
           D
  with the melody
4.
        C
And the clarinet
Bb         C        D
Practicing during a break
Eb        D
Gives the butterfly
Eb   D
   a tune to ride
Eb  D        C      Am
In- side the studio

   F                 C
At last the flash of yellow
           Em      D
   settles down
F            C
Settles on a volume knob
   Em             D
   holding up the show
         Em
Until he flutters
   D    C
   on
6.
    C                   Em
And sometime during the song
D
No one notices when
    C              Em
The butterfly disappears
   D     C     Em
Is never seen again

We can give each other…

1.
Well I'm on a roll
'n you been rockin'
Whattaya say we
Just quit talkin'
Strip off our clothes
And crawl into bed
And we can give each other
  Social diseases
  We're falling to pieces
  But we'll do what we pleases
  We're already doomed
2.
Whatever you've got
I've already caught
Athlete's foot
And the creeping rot
Syphilis herpes AIDS flu gonorrhea
Too much socializin' has given me
  Social diseases
  We're falling to pieces
  But we'll do what we pleases
  We're already doomed
