2.What are you gonna do now
Now that it's spoken
These words have a habit of not fading away
Our memory's clear
Conscience gets opened like a wound
If you can't concieve of better lines and better times
Then let silence bury you
In the end
You will be condemned
Rant: You see the Boston strangler on the freedom road you think the
suffragettes got sunk a long long time ago you spewed it out your
spite was insecure it was like bile from the height on the toilet
floor you were a nazi drunk you had the rednecks roaring for blood
and then they wanted more your life was so small you couldn't get
enough you made a start
Most chords are actually played as power chords (ie no 3rd played), but
I've put them as major and minor chords as best I can.
