no capo!

[verse (1)]

Bm
I'm here at breaking point
Mind and body tired
F#
Those plans for happiness
Have all expired
    Em
The sales pitch from door to door
     G
Says feed the rich and hang the poor
D
Twinkle twinkle little star
Bm
Point me to the nearest bar
     Bbm
I'll drown my sorrow with the rest
Do your worst, i'll do my best
Bm            F#
Here i am, at breaking point

[verse (2)]

Bm
I'm here at breaking point
The pen has dropped
F#
Progress would be wonderful
If only it would stop
    Em
The internet is free to surf
G
Measures intellect by girth
D
Here come another email
Bm
There goes another shemale
Bbm
Social media is a trend
That will send us all
               Bm
Around the bend

[chorus]

Ab
Heavy is the load
     C#m
Of a creature ill-disposed
     Ab
Of a man who finds the end
           C#m
Before the start
            Ab
It breaks your heart

[interlude]

F#  Bm  Em G Bm
F#      Bm    C#m

[verse (3)]

C#m
Stand with me at breaking point
                 Ab
As riots hit the streets
  C#m
Another toppled government
                     Ab
Will make the day complete
F#
There goes another border
D
Here comes a new world order
C#m
It's time to call it quits
Before the future hits
         Ab
With the help of god and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
        C#m
Here we are, at breaking point

[chorus]

Ab
Heavy is the load
     C#m
Of a creature ill-disposed
     Ab
Of a man who finds the end
           C#m
Before the start
            Ab
It breaks your heart

[hook]

C#m
La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la
D
La la la la la la
La la la la
C#m
La la la la la la
La la la la

[outro]

         Ab
With the help of god and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
        C#m
Here we are

         Ab
With the help of god and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
        C#m
Here we are

         Ab
With the help of god and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
        C#m
Here we are, at breaking point
              I'm here at breaking point, mind and body tired
Those plans for happiness have all expired
The sales pitch from door to door
Says feed the rich and hang the poor
Twinkle twinkle, little star
Point me to the nearest bar
I’ll drown my sorrows with the rest
Do your worst, I'll do my best
Here I am, at breaking point

I'm here at breaking point, the pen has dropped
Progress would be wonderful if only it would stop
The internet is free to surf, measures intellect by girth
Here come another email, there goes another shemale
Social media is a trend that will send us all around the bend

Heavy is the load of a creature ill-disposed
Of a man who finds the end before the start
It breaks your heart

Stand with me at breaking point as riots hit the streets
Another toppled government will make the day complete
There goes another border, here comes a new world order
It’s time to call it quits before the future hits

With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are, at breaking point

Heavy is the load of a creature ill-disposed
Of a man who finds the end before the start
It breaks your heart

La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are, at breaking point
