Hey-ey-ey! 

C 
It's Friday night the schmucks are out, the worthless people cruising around 
F                   C 
and causing fights, hey that's alright! 
C 
I said God and I are on our thrones,and telling ya'll just where to go. 
F                      C 
Well it might be hell, won't that be swell? 
       G           F      C        G 
'Cause soon you'll all be dead 

C 
Markland Mall is where to go when you're a punk and you don't know 
F                         C 
what to do with yourself, like everybody else 
C 
spend your money try to get laid, work your ass of but don't get paid 
F                 C                  G             F          C        G 
It's Kokomo! Baby dontcha know? Well tonight, the flames will glow 

C 
My face is turning red 
E 
so why don't you go ahead 
Am                             F 
and have your fun at me stupid people 
C 
I've been wasting all my time 
E 
used to care but never mind. 
Am                                         F      G 
Fireballs out of my eyes burning down your temple 

C 
Well you know I've had it up to here, pretending like I just don't care 
F                          C 
about things like you, but I know I do 
C 
You prance around conspicuously, innuendos aimed at me 
F                             C 
but not for long, 'cause soon you'll be gone 
G               F       C     G 
when I set your face on fire 

C 
Now mine is turning red 
E 
so why don't you go ahead 
Am                             F 
and have your fun at me stupid people 
C 
I've been wasting all my time 
E 
used to care but never-mind 
Am                                        F      G 
Fireballs out of my ass burning down your temple 

Am  F  C  G 
Am  F  C  G 

Am 
I'm a fire-starting mama, I'm a nasty fiend 
F 
people are grass if you know what I mean 
C 
you light em all up and you watch em burn. 
G 
Fire purifies so you let em squirm 
Am 
I'm tired of the world dragging me down 
F 
set it on fire burn it to the ground. 
C 
build it back up when it's nothing but ash 
G 
bringing in the future with regard to my past
