E                       D
Soaked your clothes in kerosene
  F                     D
Cleansed the mind with ketamine
  E                D
Slide your mom on top of me
Wash yourself with turpentine

 C             F       C    C 
My arms, I've raised again
 C       F          C
Today I don't feel bitter
 C         F       C    C 
I have no path within
 C            F         C    C 
Don't know if I'll get better

F
My own mind's unclean
Can't taste anything

Chorus:
Am           G           C
What if I'm not like the others?
Em                F
A broken man, a Frankenstein
Am       G              C
What if my heart won't recover?
 C 
I'll clean myself with turpentine

C              G6 G7 G
Working at the factory
C                  G6 G7 G
Stick the veins of nicotine
C                  G6 G7 G
Wash yourself with turp?ntine

I feel like I'll cave in
I'm anxious, I am weathered
I've lost my way again
I know there ain't no treasure

My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams

Chorus

Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine
(turpentine, turpentine, turpentine)

Am
Sharks smell the blood in the water
F
We're all just lambs to the slaughter
Am                       F
It's only all the time this time
Am
A generation lost and forgotten
F
Clawing at the lid of the coffin
Am                           F
Your god ain't coming back this time

Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah, bl-blah, bl-blah, fuck
Wash yourself with turpentine!

Chorus

Like me like a trampoline
Stick your dick in Ovaltine
Snort a bag of dramamine
Douse yourself in gasoline
Throw up in a limousine
Jack off to a magazine
Wash yourself with turpen... tine, goddammit
