1.) Underclass Hero
Key: E
Chords used:
Intro :
Verse 1:
Well I won't be caught
living in a dead end job
While praying to my
government guns and god
Now it's us against them
We're here to represent
And spit right in the
face of the establishment
And now I don't believe
(In having faith in nothing!)
Stand on my own
(Got no sympathy!)
Wasting the youth
(While being young and useless!)
Speak for yourself
(And don't pray for me!)
Chorus:
Well Because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought
and sold Just like you
Interlude: Repeat Intro but twice only
A call across the Underclass
Verse 2:
Calling out loud
with no respect
I'm not the one
just another reject
I'm the voice you affect
I'll lose and protect
I saw your up against the great
America we'll rise against
And now I'm desensitized
(I state my place in nowhere!)
Burning the flag
(Of the degeneration!)
Everyone sing
(The Anthem of no future!)
Down with the mass
(Cause we're not listening!)
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
May I have your attention please
I pledge allegiance to the
underclass as your hero at large
Bridge : E B A A-B (x4), E
Deryck Whibley's amazing lead Solo:
(Repeat Intro but only twice)
Verse 3:
We're the saints
of degeneration
We don't owe anyone
an explanation
Fuck elitists
We don't need this
We're the elites
of disarray
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro twice only)

2.) Walking Disaster
Key: B
Chords used:
E - 022100 or 079997
Intro: B
Verse 1: Slow beat
I haven't been home for a while
I'm sure everything's the same
Mom and Dad both in denial
An only child to take the blame
Sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you
Father's no name you deserve
I'm just a kid with no ambitions
Wouldn't come home for the world
Refrain 1:
Never know what
I've become
The king of all that's
said and done
The forgotten son
This city's buried
in defeat
I walk along these
no name streets
Wave goodbye to all
G#m(hold)-F#(hold)-E(hold)
As I fall
Interlude: Beat switch to fast punk!!!
B--G#m--F#--E, Bass Lines: B---B-F#-G#m-E
Guitar 2:
Verse 2:
At the dead end I begin
To burn the bridge
of innocence
Satisfaction guaranteed
A pill away catastrophe
On a mission nowhere bound
Inhibitions underground
A shallow grave I
Have dug all by myself
Refrain 2:
And now I've been
gone for so long
I can't remember
who was wrong
All innocence
is long gone
I pledge allegiance to
B F#(hold)
a world of disbelief
Where I belong
Chorus:
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
Post chorus:
B(hold)
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
Interlude: B--G#m--F#--E
Guitar 2:
Verse 3:
As far as I can tell
It's just voices in my head
Am I talking to myself?
Cause I don't know
what I just said
(And she said)
Far is where I fell
Maybe I'm better off dead
Am I at the end of nowhere
Is this as good as it gets?
(Repeat Refrain 2 and Chorus)
Bridge:
To save me, to save me, to save me...
To save me, to save me, to save me...
(Repeat x4)
B F# G#m E(hold)
To save me, to save me, to save me...
(Repeat Refrain 2 and chorus)
Interlude: B--G#m--F#--E x2
Guitar 2:
Outro: Beat switch back to slow
I will be home in a while
You don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile
Wouldn't miss it for the world
(Repeat)
B(hold)

The self-inflicted
inebriation
guilt never lies

the chance to reunite
this sick romance

From the altar to the grave
It's the last days of our lives

In faith amen

Time it's been so long
And now there's
nothing to say
I'm trying so hard to
find the words to say
I'm tired of being now
I'm something I'm not
I can't believe
and I never thought
Refrain 2:
Days would come to an end
Well maybe someday
we'll meet again
If ever that day never comes
It would be too soon My love
Interlude: B--C# x2

I've been waiting for the chance
to nullify this sick romance
Pull the chord to detonate
So sick of you don't speak of me
The reverend saint of misery
And holy savior of masochist

Well it's the dead end slave
From the altar to the grave
It's the last days of our lives
(Repeat)
In faith amen
Outro:
Trying to find a way
Getting better everyday
And I got you now I'm not alone
All I need in this life is one
One thing to believe in

5.) Count Your Last Blessings
Key: D
Chords used:
Intro:
Piano: Until Verses
Last call for regret and defeat
To finish the bottle full of empty dreams
Punch-drunk headed straight out of line
Another excuse with no alibi
Hitchin on the road of decline
With no name streets and no vital signs
I pissed away the best of me and
No one can help me!
Refrain:
Chorus:
Misery's best friend
Dead beat on a dead-end
A bag full of regrets
and I'm coming clean
The self-elect
Resident reject
A bad habit
Don't forget it you better
Count your last blessings
i fell off the wagon
i'm chasing six feet
And now I'm running out of time
(Repeat Intro)
Verse 2:
My hands are tied
And nailed to the cross
I'm looking for all the composure I lost
I'm petulant with a bad attitude
A poster-child vision of wasted youth
I dodged the book and found the key
I can't say the same for dignity
I pissed away the best of me and
No one can help me
(Repeat Refrain and chorus)
Interlude: Bm - G - D - F#
Bridge:
My own enemy
I don't hear you now
Perfect tragedy
God bless us denial
My own enemy
I don't hear you now
Perfect tragedy
God bless us denial

End on Bm then Repeat Piano Intro twice

6.) Ma Poubelle
a G or D doesn't always have the same pitch throughout the song
even though its still the same basic chord.
Tu es ma mademoiselle
Tu es ma petite poubelle
Je chercherai des ordures pour toi
Je commencerai dedans mes pantalons
Dans votre oeil se truove une petite pleur
Mais je suis pas un autre Coeur
Tu sais tu es ma petite fleur
Avec une plotte qui est comme du beure
Tu es ma mademoiselle
Tu es ma petite poubelle *At the end here there actually
s
playing these chords
Je chercherai des ordures pour toi as power chords
Je commencerai dedans mes pantalons
I saw a rough translation for this and its a really dirty song
but its funny as hell

Ladies and gentlemen
of the underclass

Of chosen fools and hypocrites
Who walk a line that tread so fine
Is death or glory had in mind?
Refrain 1:
And here we go again
it's a mass delusion
No one knows
Who'll lead this
revolution now
As tension grows
The way to a conclusion
It's too late there's no time
(it's too late there's no time)
All for none none for
Chorus:
March of the dogs
To a beat of disillusion
Sworn under God
Breeding panic and confusion
The white flag is down
Send in the clowns
The carnival of sins is
now going to begin

Under God and above us all

And here we go again
in desperation
All we know is confusion
and frustration now
As tension grows no
vision of salvation
It's too late there's no time
(it's too late there's no time)
All for none none for 1, 2, 3, 4
(Repeat Chorus)
Post Chorus::
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
A-one, two, three, four
Bridge:
Verse 3: Deryck Speaks
And now the president's dead
Because they blew off his head
No more neck to be red
Yes to heaven he fled
Was it something he said
Because of who's in his bed
By who will we be led
From whose hand will we be fed
All the lies by the
lying liars who said
We'll be fine
It's OK
Hey look mom no head
Outro:
m
Blah Blah Blah Blah...
(It's the carnival of sins,
and a one two three go!
it's alright I said go!
one two three I say go!
It's ok, it's alright)

When the devil's angels come
To take your life and lead you
To the flamers beneath
Your headstone reads now
Here lies the dead who was
Hung by his head beneath us
They're laying in their graves
Damnation free for all

undo what he's done
A figurehead of capitol crime
With a light shining down

i'm just trying to say...

I'm sorry
