Poison in the Well Lyrics
by Lagwagon
Key: E, F#
Chords used:
C# - x46664
Verse 1:
young vacant heartbreaker
do you feel like breaking
something cause you seem
so cold trying to be bold
blank prelude to extinction
your words are misspelled
treason poison in your
trust poison in our hope
Chorus 1:
do you recall your
first bee sting
how you learned
to feel pain
are you numb
below your
G# G#(hold)
nerve endings?
Verse 2:
trouser kneecap
broken hat dressed
up in broken English
poison in the quill
poison in your quill
Chorus 2:
a founder of a scene
an uninformed machine
love or hate everything
somehow you see apathy
as soul a fool's
youth is no excuse
G#(hold)
to be an a**hole
Interlude: Beat Changes and Guitar Solo
Bridge:
it's speaking English
but I don't understand
it dancing on graves in
their ancestors' gold
sucking on air
Bb(hold)
dispel malignant-
Verse 3: Modulate Key from E to F#
-revolt rats what
can I do? my daughter
has to live here too
poison in the well
poison in the well
I picture life in
the outside lands
somewhere far away
from them hanging
from the grid
hanging from
the grid
Chorus 3:
will she recall her
first bee sting?
how will she speak
of me growing up
surrounded by imbeciles?
a fool's youth is no
Bb(hold)
excuse to be an a**hole
Outro: Ebm-B-Ebm-G#m-C#-Bb- x3
