Until the break of dawn

A            D
Life, life, Cannot go by the letter,

Time, time, Prozac can make it better,
A             D
Noise, noise, any kind will do,
         G                           E
Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you

Crime, crime - rockin' like Janet Reno - time time
Eighteen and life in Chino - Freud, Freud
All along it's true;
Well you'll see there comes a day catches up to you, yeah!

A               D
Knock down the walls, it's alive in you!
A                D
Knock down the place, you're alone it's true!
A               D
Knock down the world, it's alive in you!
G                    E
You gotta keep your head up through it all

  G              G#       A
That's what the main man say
You can do it!

You know it smells like shit - God damn!
Tag Team the Double Header
Son of Sam; fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplomb
'Cause wherever you're at, that's the tip youse on

Lies lies - says he's down in the Bahamas - tries tries
Bangin' little hoochie mamas - no way
None of this is true
Well you'll see there comes a day when the joke's on you yeah!

Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (You're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all

Dime, dime, so good to see ya,
A            D
Nine, nine, don't wanna be ya,
A              D
Crime, crime, fine sensimilla,
A              D
Crime, crime, fine sensimilla,
A              D
Crime, crime, fine sensimilla,

When you'll see the there comes a day catches up to you, yeah!

Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (You're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
