"Walking Contradiction"
Intro:
BB(PM)...
Verse:
EDAE
Do as l say and not as l do
EDA
because the s**t's so thick you can't run away.
EDAE
I beg to differ and on the contrary,
EDA
l agree with every word that you say.
EDAE
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive,
EDA
My wallet's fat and so is my head.
EDAE
Hit and run and then l'll hit you again,
EDA
I'm a smart-a*s but l'm playing dumb.
Chorus:
EDBEDB
EDAEEDA
NO WORDS
Verse:
EDAE
Standards set and broken all the time,
EDA
Control the chaos from behind a gun.
EDAE
Call it as l see it even if
EDA
I was born deaf, blind and dumb.
EDAE
Losers winning big on the lottery,
EDA
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue.
EDAE
Constant refutation with myself,
EDA
I'm a victim of a catch-22.
Chorus:
EDB
I have no belief.
EDB EDAE
But I believe, I'm a walking contradiction.
EDA
And, l ain't got no right.
HOPE YOU LIKE THIS....GEEKSTINK@AOL.COM
