The Memo
 
[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
 I'm gonna steal some bedsheets
F            C
 From an amputee
C
 I'm gonna mount em on a canvas
       D7                 G7
In the middle of the gallery
F                    Fm6
 I'm gonna tell everybody
       Am           G    F
It was painted by a chimpanzee
Am             G    F
Just between you and me
            G
Here at the cultural low watermark
        G7
If it's fraud or art
                     C
They'll pay you to believe
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
 I'm gonna take five young dudes
F               C
 From white families
C
 I'm gonna mount 'em on a billboard
       D7                 G7
In the middle of the country
F                    Fm6
 I'm gonna tell everybody
               Am          G   F
They sing like angels with whiter teeth
    Am           G       F
But just between you and me
                      G
They're just like the ones before
 
With their standards lower
        G7                             C
Another concert-goer will pay you to believe
 
 
[Chorus]
    F                        C
Oh, caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
F                                C
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
           Am                        G         F
And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time
          Am                         G             F
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
                 G                  G7
And friends it's not self-love that kills you
          Am                       F
It's when those who hate you are allowed
                 G                 G7
To sell you that you're a glorious shit
           Am              F
The entire world revolves around
                    G                 G7
And that you're the eater, no not the eaten
              Am               F
But that your hunger will only cease
            G                G7
If you come binge on radiant blandness
       Am     G  F
At the disposable feast
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
 Gonna buy myself a sports team
F                 C
 And put 'em in a pit
C
 I'm gonna wage the old crusade
D7                G7
 Against consciousness
F                      Fm6
 All I need's a couple winners
             Am       G     F
To get every loser to fight in it
         Am
Keep the golden calf
             G    F
Just need the bullshit
                    G
And they won't just sell themselves into slavery
            G7                              C
They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe
