And the home of the remedy
The old clock is a thief
With dirty second hands with dirty second hands
~REPEAT CHORUS~
~BRIDGE~ NOTE:You keep repeating the intro riff all the way through
The bridge, until the chords come in, or you can just play D5/A throughout.
Are you really as tough as you think
You blink and you're over the brink
You bleed but the blood runs pink
With dirty second hands dirty second hands
You're not quite as tough as you thought
You bought the American rot
The very seed that you thought you shot
With dirty second hands dirty second hands
You might be right the fight might be right inside you
The blind leading the lied to
Tonight maybe you bind you with dirty second hands
F5 B5 F5 B5 C5 C#5 D5/A
Here's the face of everything that brakes you down
You bind you with dirty second hands
F5 B5 F5 B5 C5 C#5 D5/A

You bind you with dirty second hands

Play the intro riff once, and then end on D5/A.
