Slouching Towards Jerusalem

=Verse=
D                    A     G                       Bb A
got up at nine o'clock -- it was already two hours late
jumped in the shower -- cold water filled with hate
threw on my shirt -- the pants don't even match
dragged a comb through my hair and found another bald patch

rubber necks in baseball hats have already made up their minds
free thinkers and artists can go to the back of the line
I'm hoping to coax another two weeks out these leather shoes
If they find out about my cheap sunglasses, I don't know what I'll do

paint my face with jelly and find me a grizzly bear
he'll cover me with kindness and put me in intensive care
take the safety off my life, lose those training wheels
where's that handsome Devil with all those Faustian deals?

=chorus=
G                A
slacking away my time
D                          G
let the punishment fit the crime
slouching towards Jerusalem
as if it's a practice run
A                                         D A (x3)
Guess I'm just a rebel without a wardrobe
