[Verse]
A G
You with the jaundiced eyes,
Bm A
Drunk on your old reflection
A G
Propped up with desks and flags,
Bm A
Eight chairs short of perfection
A G
Your lines drawn here, there and everywhere
Bm A
None of your own volition
A G
Unrecognized your paste and your shadow
Bm A
Stripped of all your definition
[Chorus]
G A
Scour the house, flip the wig
Bm
Shake the tree
G A
Scour the house, flip the wig
Bm
Shake the tree
G A
Until your whereabouts are known to me
[Verse]
A G
You've been abused and cheated,
Bm A
Sat on you're beyond defeated
A G
Those who rise stand in your name
Bm A
Then treat you roughly once they're seated
A G
Your pen in one, the sword in the other
Bm A
Satisfied the blessing is given
A Em
In God they trust only their way one way
G A
Afraid of the other isms
[Chorus]

Scour the house, flip the wig

Shake the tree

The grass is always greener
Bm A
Under western skies
A G
But your Norman Rockwell nation's
Bm A
Being choked by weeds and vines
A G
Looky here the old grey mare
Bm A
She ain't what she used to be, oh no
A Em
Looky here the old grey mayor
G A
He's all he's cracked up to be
