[Intro]
[D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2]

[D]No one likes [Dsus2]looking at you
[D]Your lack of [Dsus2]ego offends male mentality
[D]They need [Dsus2]your innocence
[D]To steal vacant [Dsus2]love and to destroy
[D]Your beauty and [Dsus2]virginity used like toys
[D]My mind is [Dsus2]dead, everybody loves me
[D]Wants a [Dsus2]slice of me
[D]Hopelessly passive [Dsus2]and compatible
[D]Need to belong, oh, [Dsus2]the roads are scary
[D]Hold me [Dsus2]in your arms
[D]I wanna be [Dsus2]your only possession
[D]Used, used, [Dsus2]used by men
[D]Used, used, [Dsus2]used by men
[D]All they leave [Dsus2]behind is money
[D]Paper made out [Dsus2]of broken twisted trees
[D]Your pretty [Dsus2]face offends
[D]Because it's something real [Dsus2]that I can't touch
[D]Eyes, skin, bone, contour, [Dsus2]language as a flower
[D]No god reached me, [Dsus2]faded films and loving books
[D]Black and [Dsus2]white TV
[D]All the world does [Dsus2]not exist for me
[D]If I'm starving, you [Dsus2]can feed me lollipops
[D]Your diet [Dsus2]will crush me
[D]My life, just [Dsus2]an old man's memory
[D]Little baby, nothing
[Dsus2]Loveless slavery, [D]lips kissing empty
[Dsus2]Dress your [D]life in loathing
[Dsus2]Breaking your mind [D]with Barbie Doll futility
[Dsus2]Little baby nothing
[D]Sexually free, [Dsus2]made-up to breakup
[D]Assassinated beauty
[Dsus2]Moths broken up, [D]quenched at last
[Dsus2]The vermin allowed a [D]thought to pass them by
[Dsus2]You are pure, [D]you are snow
[Dsus2]We are the useless [D]sluts that they mould
[Dsus2]Rock 'n' roll [D]is our epiphany
[Dsus2]Culture alienation, [D]boredom and despair
[Dsus2]You are pure, [D]you are snow
[Dsus2]We are the useless [D]sluts that they mould
[Dsus2]Rock 'n' roll [D]is our epiphany
[Dsus2]Culture alienation, [D]boredom and despair
