hey, sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong,

 C#           G#            D#                A#
eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along,

C#           G#              D#               F
puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge,

   C#            D#                  F
as old glory maintains your consciousness

there's a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool,

      C#             G#         D#               A#
and a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool,

    C#            G#       D#           F
and as the people bend the moral fabric dies,

     C#               D#                 F#
then country can't pretend to ignore its people's cries

Land of Competition
E D E D

E D
see, there's a girl who's afraid of the world

E D
so she stays at home,

E D
also a boy who seems so lost in his joy 

E D
he's all alone,


C G D E
the camera's on them, they're in the land of competition,

C D E
southern california air feeds them,

C G D E
and they know they're the best 'cuz of the way they are dressed,

C D E D E D
but you can bet you are not welcome in their home,


see there's a girl who sits and
watches the world from her blue screen,
also a boy who truly wants to destroy his
hometown scene,

they both want to travel to the land of competition,
southern california will destroy them,
and they won't be the best,
they'll be the poseurs who dress 
like the plastic idiots who they copy

tell me what do you need to make you happy?
indeed, is it out of your reach?
beware of number one,
see all the damage it has done,
there are so few of them,

you won't find too many in the land of competition,
southern california doesn't breed them,
if you just want the best turn to yourself for the rest,
and forget about the one's who "have it all"

C D E
be careful of the ones who "have it all"

Riff x2

D C G


D C
there was a boy who had too many toys

G D
and an ache inside of his bones

D C
he sought extrication through chemical vocation

G D
and now he just answers to tones


C G D
it's deadly and alluring

F C G
the sound of pounding heat

F C G D 
enslaving all who dare to succumb to
