Mass hysteria
        Cm  C# G#
Mass hysteria
        Cm  C# G#
Mass hysteria

C#                G#
Red alert is the color of panic
C#        F#
Elevated to the point of static
C#                G#
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
         F#                      G#
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
C#                     G#
Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming
C#                 F#
And the welfare is asphyxiating
C#                G#
Mass confusion is all the new rage
          F#
And it's creating a feeding ground
 G#
For the bottom feeders of

Chorus

True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf mute's misleading the choir
The punchline is a natural disaster
And it's sung by the unemployed
Fight fire with a riot
The class war is hanging on a wire
Because the martyr is a compulsive liar
When he said, "It's just
a bunch of niggers
throwing gas into the..."

Chorus

 C#                           G# 
There's a disturbance on the oceanside
      A#m               G#
They tapped into the reserve
F#                  D#m      G#
The static response is so unclear now
C#               G# 
Mayday, this is not a test!
A#m                  G#
As the neighborhood burns
F#   D#m    G#
America is falling
G G#
    Vigilantes warning you
G G#
    Calling Christian and Gloria

II. Modern World

Chorus:
D                A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D                A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D                A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D                A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world

          D       A
I'm the class of 13
       G          D
In the era of dissent
   D              A
A hostage of the soul
        G               A
On a strike to pay the rent
     D           A
The last of the rebels
    G              D
Without a common ground
     D             A
I'm gonna light a fire
   G     A      D
Into the underground well

Chorus

Bm      F#m
I am A nation
         G            D   A  
Without bureaucratic ties
Bm       F#m        G
Deny the allegation as
                A
it's written a fucking lies

Well, I wanna take a ride
to the great divide
Beyond the "up to date"
and the neo-gentrified
The high definition
for the low resident
Where the value of your mind
is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound
of a beating heart
That bleeds beyond
a system that is falling apart
With money to burn
on a minimum wage
Well, I don't give a shit
about the modern age

Chorus

Mass hysteria
D                A
I don't want to live
        G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
D                A
I don't want to live
        G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
D                A
I don't want to live
        G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
