I will do your interview

Try to explain what I'm going through

Give you something to read into in a million different ways

A sick version of telephone starts at the clip of the microphone
D G A Bm
A game we thought we had all outgrown, but still everybody plays
[Chorus]

Ignoring all of the remedies, believing all of the rumors
Em D G
With their endless database

I wanna sit with my enemies and say, "we should have done this sooner"

While I look them in the face
Em D G
Maybe that will crack the case

His second life as a talent scout, finally got him caught

While she was throwing out all his clothes she heard a voice from beyond the throes

Somebody else's opposing side

On the banks of some great divide, two versions of a dream

Countless revisions of history trying to tell us the future
Em D G
Between each commercial break

I wanna call off the calvary
G F#m
Declare no winners or losers
Em D G
And forgive our shared mistakes
Em D G
They can pick the time and place
Em D G
Maybe that will crack the case
