A
Primed so meticulous, stripped down to the nucleus
                                                             E
Of everything that sickened me before I started viewing this
      A
I've read it in the glazed, painted vacant gaze of this shell of a human before me
              E                 B                   A
We thank the lord for the ego afforded the shallow now
              A/G#               A                  F#m
Such handsome propaganda, truly business accused of show
             A                       A/G#   E
And they're cuing the applause sign now

A                        C#m
Pretty little casualties
    A
in temporary tragedies
E                         A
Born from the same place self-doubt grows
C#m                   A
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready pose
  B                       A
Around here "diva" ain't much of a compliment

C#m A E (x2)

     A
Celebrate the undiscerning, don't question what you're learning
                                                    E
Crank the violin 'cause Rome is fucking burning now
A
Culture shown in effigy presented as "celebrity" like tiny vultures crying out "believe me!"
     E                            B                         A
But careful there, honey, 'cause your roots are showing now
              A/G#               A                  F#m
Such handsome propaganda, truly business accused of show
             A                       A/G#   E
And they're cuing the applause sign now

A                        C#m

C#m                   A
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready pose
  B                       A

        A                           E   A
What a cherished myth of marketing
A                  E            A
Propaganda with complexion so clear
A                        D          A
Tomorrow's insecurities playfully draped
        D                          E
In the second-hand styles of next year
             A                E  A
And it's so hard to look away
A                 E             A
Although somehow harder yet to stare
A                                D        A
These picture perfect pawns are salesmen now
      D                            E
Like carpetbaggers shilling their wares
       F#m                     D
And in reality I really don't care
                                   E                     A
'Cause asshole's a fashion that I never could afford to wear
