(palm mute main riff during verses)

eye on the tv
cause tragedy thrills me
whatever flavor
it happens to be like
killed by the husband
drowned by the ocean
shot by his own son
she used a poison

(second riff)
in his tea
and kissed him goodbye
that's my kind of story


 it's no fun 'til someone dies...

(hit main riff again 4x)

(palm mute main riff during more verses)
don't look at me like
i am a monster
frown out your one face
but with the other
stare like a junkie
into the TV
stare like a zombie
while the mother

(second riff)
holds her child
and watches him die

pleas to the sky crying... (same as second but w/ addtl part in the end here)

(palm mute all with lyrics)
why can't we just admin it
why can't we just admit it
we won't give pause until
the blood is flowin
neither the brave nor bold
will write a story so
we won't give pause until
the blood is flowin



 i need to watch things die,       from a good safe distance...
