  Something’ll kill us like cigarettes or the commies maybe
F#
  Or maybe AIDS or scabies, rabies or zombie babies
E                G                        F#
  Even the KGB, pray we be free from ADD, wade in and bathe in Hades
   A
No army or Navy’s saving me
E                             G
  And I can’t tell our little victories from epic fails

  It’s either heaven or hell and I can’t make heads or tails
