And the rest of the world can go screw themselves, just like

I will any day. The rest of the world can go screw

themselves, just like I will, just like I will any day.

The rest of the world watches too much T.V. and the rest of
                  F#m                   Bm
the world doesn't care about me and the rest of the world is
   F#m               Eii         D         C#       B
an unfamiliar place. NO ONE DOWN HERE RECOGNIZES MY FACE!
A         D                 E         D
