Elvis Costello - How to be dumb

^GI was hell-bent on destroying my powers of concentration Wh^Dile you were living like a saint ^GAnd all the time the very one you trusted Was wa^Emshing off somebody else's p^Bmaint

^GNow you've got yourself a brand new occupation Ev^Dery fleeting thought is a pearl And beau^Gtiful people stampede through the doorway of The fu^Emnniest fucker of the w^Bmorld

^FThey're here to help you ^DmSatisfy your de^Bmsire There's a bright future^C for all you professional li^Gars

Now you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb Are you re^Gady to take your pl^Cace in The m^G/Bodern museum ^Dof mistakes' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' Like a bui^Glding thrown up ove^Crnight In ^G/Bone of those rev^Derse earthquakes

^GThey emptied out all the asylums, ^DThey emptied out all the goals ^GThe "New Bruise" was the name of the dance craze By &q^Emuot;Jesus Cross and the Cr^Bmuel Nails" ^GFollowed up by "Tortouzring Little Beaver" W^Dith their contraption of barbed wire ^GBetween the fear and the fever lies ^EmAll the rejection they re^Bmquire

^FThey'll be howling by midnight, ^DmThey'll be drooling by d^Bmawn Skulls shrunk down to the size of their br^Cains Heads shaven and sh^Gorn

Now you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb Are you re^Gady to take your pl^Cace in The m^G/Bodern museum ^Dof mistakes' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' Like a bui^Glding thrown up ove^Crnight In ^G/Bone of those rev^Derse earthquakes

Tr^Emapped in the house of the Perpetual Sucker Where bitt^Cerness always ends so pi^Dtyful ^EmYou always had to dress up your envy in S^Come half-remembered phil^Dosophy

N^Gow you're masquerading as pale powdered genius Whose e^Dvery bad intention has been purged ^GYou could've walked out any time you wanted But f^Emace it you didn't have the co^Bmurage ^GI guess that makes you a full time hypocrite Or s^Dome kind of twisted dilletante Fu^Gnny though people don't usually get so ugly 'Til they t^Emhink they know what they w^Bmant

^FScratch you own head stupid ^DmCount up to three ^BmRoll over on your b^Cack Repeat after ^Gme

Don't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb Are you re^Gady to take your pl^Cace in The m^G/Bodern museum ^Dof mistakes' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' Like a bui^Glding thrown up ove^Crnight In ^G/Bone of those rev^Derse earthquakes

^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' ^GDon't you know h^Cow to be d^Dumb' Seite 1 von 3
