[Verso 1]
Em
I dated a smoker from Missoula
She was Christian
Am Em
I could taste the mutual corruption when we were kissing
Em
My roommates were in love
My apartment was a prison
Am Em
I was stuck in between a rock and a hard decision
Em
I wonder what she was thinking
When I went up and missing
Am Em
I guess we'll never know because I left without a mention
Em
It was teaching for me
And painful for her
Am Em
Just another self-centered boy
[Refrão]
Em
Burn it all down if it don't suit me
Am Em
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
Em
They can make a man believe anything
Am Em
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Em
Count the carcasses in the snow
Am Em
Gone is the age of the buffalo
Em
The pale-skinned dragon defends his hoard
Am Em
Though he can never spend his gold
[Verso 2]
Em
I was up North where it's cold as ice
Am Em
Found me a tree that was old as Christ
Em
Cut it down to build a rocking chair
Am Em
And I rocked myself to sleep
Em
Oil tankers in the Salish Sea
Am Em
Dumping their filth in the pale blue green
Em
No tears shed for the orca whale
Am Em
I was told that it's him or me
[Refrão]
Em
Burn it all down if it don't suit me
Am Em
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
Em
They can make a man believe anything
Am Em
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Em
Count the body parts in the stones
Am Em
Overseas we will feed the crows
Em
You can build a city on a hill
Am Em
Or an empire out of bones
[Verso 3]
Em
I was unfazed as the Congo cried
Am Em
I remained cool as the Arctic fried
Em
I was asleep as the Outback burned
Am Em
But I woke for Notre-Dame
Em
Squeeze my allies and break their legs
Am Em
Melt the bifrost release the plague
Em
the jangling keys of the Death Star sing
Am Em
from the waistband of a boy
[Refrão]
Em
Burn it all down if it don't suit me
Am Em
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
Em
They can make a man believe anything
Am Em
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Em
Bury your head in the Western sand
Am Em
Build your home over Western land
Em
It's your human right in your man's world
Am Em
Said another self centered boy
