Verse 1

Em G Do unto others, his mama taught Am G Til she got shot in a parking lot Am G By a mad mad man, with a bad bad plan Am G Coming off duty, Afghanistan Em G Easily bought, own weapon of war Am G Like a pack of darts, local corner store Em G My daughter and son both asking for guns Am G "Protection daddy! The other grade 1's" Em G He sleeps easy, despite the blood on his hands Am G He’s a yellow bellied coward with his head in the sand Em G His money is made, little too little I’m afraid Am G This man here only gives to be paid

Chorus

Em G Smile like you just got paid D Am Laugh like you just got laid Em G Wouldn’t have it any other way D Am I’m a dog on garbage day Em G D Am Garbage day Em G D Am Garbage day

Verse 2

Em G The coward with the crowned head Am G Balderdash’s all damn day, like the truth is dead Em G He don’t lie in his mind, he don’t serve the tribe Am (shot) He ain't the fella you wanna go to if you in a bind Em G He’s a tanned talking mop, motor mouth won’t stop Am G Gifted, he was driven, he was born to cut ribbons Em G He’s the at bat, plutocrat, the peoples aristocrat Am G We bought a cat in a sack and now we can't take it back
