[Intro]   
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em B7 B7
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em B7 B7


[Chorus]
Em Em B7 B7
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born
Em Em B7 B7
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn
Em Em A A Bb Bb B7 B7
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know
Em Em C C B7 B7 Em Em
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go


[Verse]
Em Em B7 B7
I woke up when I hit the ground without a penny to my name
Em Em B7 B7
I threw away the only love I got and hung my head in shame
Em Em B7 B7
When I had nothing I remembered what I need
Em Em C C B7 B7 Em Em
I bought no joy material, but fodder for my greed


[Rap]
Em Em
You got this, everything you needed to survive
B7 B7
The addition is the mission that you be accessorized
Em Em
But it’s all a pack of lies, you know that it’s true
B7 B7
If you don’t commoditize tell me what would you do
Em Em
Is everything you’re wearing the extension of self?
B7 B7
Every action that you’re taking for progression of wealth?
Em Em
If you didn’t have a color TV how would you see?
B7 B7
If you didn’t have a social life then who would you be?
Em Em
Cause everybody wants, and thinks they need
B7 B7
Whether internet, cell phone, or blood you bleed
Em Em
But only one of the three is gonna keep you alive
B7 B7
Tell me, how far car can you get without the car you drive


[Hook]
Am Am
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t
Em Em
They say buy what we sell but you can't tell them you won’t
Am Am
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done
B7 B7
Well could you give it all away if the time should ever come?


[Chorus]
Em Em B7 B7
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born
Em Em B7 B7
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn
Em Em A A Bb Bb B7 B7
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know
Em Em C C B7 B7 Em Em
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go


[Rap]
Em Em
Now intrinsic as it seems, it’s really just a fallacy
B7 B7
Everything is challenging it's all about balancing
Em Em
Cause when you try to have a peace of mind
B7 B7
It ain’t hard to find, I want a piece of what’s mine
Em Em
So fuck the time, everything will come eventually
B7 B7
Essentially the only thing to hold you back is chemistry
Em Em B7 B7
Cause what we put in our bodies is what we put in our brains
Em Em
And if the mix isn’t perfect than it can make you insane

So tell me who’s the one to blame
B7 B7
Every man, woman, child, if they think the same
Em Em
Every docile action, distraction from our passion
B7 B7
Every session of depression if you lack satisfaction


[Hook]
Am Am
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t
Em Em
They say buy what we sell but you can't tell em you won’t
Am Am
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done
B7 B7
Well could you give it all away if the time should ever come?


[Chorus]
Em Em B7 B7
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born
Em Em B7 B7
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn
Em Em A A Bb Bb B7 B7
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know
Em Em C C B7 B7 Em Em
When you hit rock bottom, there's just one way left to go


[Outro]
Em Em B7 B7 Em Em
