Living in the world of someone else’s dream
what a drag to know that yer nothing at all
just some backdrop prop that is imitating life
waiting for your cue to move out of the scene

Verse
and in the battle scene your holding
a plastic gun stand at attention
script calls for you to die
with other wannabees

feign a shot in the gut
fall down in the mud
you'll wind up on the cutting room floor

don't wanna be the one who's dying in the first five

everyone has a part they'll never show
Dm Am
to anyone they know
Dm Am / G
to anyone who meets them
Am EM F C
toss a masquerade for party people
Dm Am / G AM C
do they throw you like a curve ball high inside?
AM C
do you want inside?
AM C AM C
Well with your fly by night time bar scene dreamin...
everyone has a heart they want to show
they try to be themselves, they wind up being shadows
head misleading while your heart keeps pleading
but your bleeding and you cant compress the wound
love is so lampooned.

while you're fly bye night time bar scene dreamin...

F Dm
& your side-lined life
F Am / G
on the side lines of battle feeling glum
F DM E
while your side burns 'em up...

Am E
they want to be cool... cool cool cool
C D Am E
everybody wants to be the life of the party no
C E
everybody wants to be fooled fooled fooled
fooled into thinking they're important
but they'll find its not easy when
everybody wants to be cool
(solo)
do you want inside, do you want insided
while you're fly bye night time bar scene dreamin...

& your side-lined life
on the side lines of battle feeling glum
while your side burns 'em up...

they want to be cool... cool cool cool
everybody wants to be the life of the party no
everybody wants to be fooled fooled fooled
fooled into thinking they're important
but they'll find its not easy when
everybody wants to be cool

Please leave me home Please leave me home oh all alone

Ego -
+++++++++++++++++++++++
B6
My alcoholic alter ego
A6
comes stumbling in to take the fall for me
C#m D B6
takes the blame and turns it in to apathy

some pent up rage just comes around when i am hanging with my bottled friend
he's always filling me with words to say, words I wouldn't say
masked with confidence upon my numbing head
B6
the words are they true
C#m
are they coming straight from me
A
are they true? (oooohh decending part)
G F# E
are they just my own defensive subconscious ramblings?
D B6
you see the words are sobering
the words are really sobering

My alcoholic alter ego says
best be on his drunken way
he's had his fun with me
fall dead in bed
caught between the three white sheets into the wind

C#m A
in the morning I'll have a much different view
C#m A
slurry speak blurry eyes to see thru
G F#
all that's left of him to help defend
E
is just an aching head that's scrambling
D B6
the words the words the words are really
sobering
the words the words are really sobering
the words the words are really sobering
are really sobering

My alcoholic alter ego

someday we'll grow to be trees that can see thru our forest

we chop the world into right and wrong
but we never gather our souls
stone tools keep us scraping along
while we burn our hearts like a coal

and drop the ball like an atom bomb
someday in ten thousands of years
they'll know we misunderstood

‘cos were so green
we see in black and white
we’re so green
there’s just the blight of pride
we’re so green
we’re trying to see the light of without our sight
someday we'll grow to be trees that can see thru our forest
our forest…
so green, so green(no way no how…)
