Tipper what's that sticker sticking on my CD
Is that some kind of warning to protect me
Freedom of choice needs a stronger stronger voice
You can stamp out the source but you can't stop creative thought

Hey hey all you all you senator's wives
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preach to me 
Your definition of obsenity

   Ah Tipper...


[ F  D  E  A ]

The irony it seems it seems to me
It's unamerican policy
Yeah, we come so far but still only to find 
People like you with ignorant minds

   Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain


Go to work, it's such a drag 
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie 
I look so lame I wanna die

   I can't take...

[ D E G E ] x4

[ G   Bb C# ] x4


I punch the clock at 9:05 
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me 
I'm last in line for prosperity
   
   I can't take...
   
Five o'clock rolls around 
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enought hours in the day 
There's go to be a better way
   
   I can't take...

   I can't take...

POISON HEART

No one ever thought this one would survive
C#              E            A           B
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
C#            E       C#           E
Lock you in a dream, never let you go
C#            E        A          B
Never let you laugh or smile, not you
 

         A              B          C#          A
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world

[ C#  B ] x2
 

Making friends with a homeless torn up man
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday
 
   Well, I just...

   A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart
   

[ E  A ] x2 
 

You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion before my eyes
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives
 

   I just want...
   
   Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
   'cause everybody has a poison heart

ANXIETY

   Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy
   Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy

Always stiff, all day long
Nothing's right till it's all wrong
   F#                G  
It makes no sense until I'm tense
Always laughing at your expense


    C   B    C   B
   Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy
   Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy


Always biting on my nails
Always stiff, it never fails
Now I think I'll pick my nose
Wipe it on my sweaty clothes
                  
   Anxiety, anxiety...

Always screamin' at someone
Got a temper like a gun
Hair trigger personality
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me hap-happy

Just how things work
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane
Always looking over my shoulder
She said there's something about you
And neon lights always glow hot
Baby we can see this through
Just give me all the strength you've got

MAIN MAN


[ F# A E F# ] x4

[ B C# ] x2


F#              A         E        F#
When I start movin', you see a blur
Get hooked on me baby, there ain't no cure
I've always been able to laugh at fate
Two brown eyes filled with hate
B                    C#
I'm the man who makes the street his home
And my lean mean hearts is just as hard as stone
      

  F# A E B           F# A E B
  Oh, I'm my main man
  Don't want nothing from no one
  I'm my main man
  F# A E B  F#                             E 
  Always ready for what ever's gonna happen


Spend my time in a cold jail cell 
Shootin' up poison and livin' in hell 
And I never care what people think
My history's written on me in tattooed ink
And still life goes on tracks on my arms
And the number thirteen is my good luck charm

   Oh, I'm my...


[ F# A E B ] x4

[ B C# ] x2

           
What happens to me is my own affair
If you don't like me, I really don't care
'cause no one's been what I've been through
And I don't do what people want me to do
I'll fight you till the bitter end
And then I'll screw your little girlfriend

   Oh, I'm my...

   Oh, I'm my...

TOMORROW SHE GOES AWAY

Infatuation
She's a fatal attraction 
Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time
Danger's intriguing
But I don't want to die 
Got to leave this psycho behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time
