1. They’re gonna clean up your looks
   With all the lies and the books
             H7               A
   To make a citizen out of you
   E
   Because they sleep with a gun
   And keep an eye on you, son
   H7                                   E
   So they can watch all the things you do
   
2. Because the drugs never work
   They’re gonna give you a smirk
   ‘Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
   They’re gonna rip up your heads
   Your aspirations to shreds
   Another cog in the murder machine

R: They said the teenagers scare
   The living shit out of me
   They could care less
              H7
   As long as someone’ll bleed
   A
   So darken your clothes
   E
   Or strike a violent pose
   H7                             E
   Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

3. The boys and girls in the clique
   The awful names that they stick
   You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
   But if you’re troubled and hurt
   What you got under your shirt
   We’ll make them pay for the things, that they did

R: They said... (2x)

   All together now!
