A 
Try not to think so much about 
                    E                                     Fm 
The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record 
        B 
All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining 
     E 
The high gloss 
The tape and the gear 

Try not to become too consumed 
With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait 
The acrylic, the varnish 
Aluminum tubes filled with latex 
The solvents and dye 

Fm                          B 
Lets just call this what it is 
     A                              Fm 
The jealous side of mankind's death wish 
                     B 
When it's my time to go 
E                                     A 
Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose 

Try not to dwell so much upon 
How it won't be so very long from now that they laugh at us for selling 
A bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones singing "oh yeah" 
Again and again 
Right up to the end 

Lets just call this what it is 
The jealous side of mankind's death wish 
When it's my time to go 
Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose 

I'll just call this what it is 
My vanity gone wild with my crisis 
One day this all will it will all repeat 
Now sure hope they make something useful out of me
