Verse 1
Am
Dm
Well it
Am
stumbles and it falls
off of almost every tongue
Dm
Give a listen and you'll hear
Am
It's workin like a landmine
in almost every sentence
Dm
It's an assault to my mind's ear
Verse 2

Gotta stamp it out there ought
to be some laws
Verse 4

Verse 8
Dm
You can rest assured
Am
If you're sayin what you mean then

in some kind of a past?
