Things Mum & Dad Said…

[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, melodic clean electric guitar lead] [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar, bass, and light drums] Don't carry on like a pork chop And it's always in the last place you look You'll be making an ass of me and you If they all jumped off the bridge would you do that too? It's as fair as my ass, useless as a bow with tits You want sympathy? Look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis You know it's better than a kick up the arse But we're up shit creek without a paddle to pass [Chorus] [distorted electric guitars enter, driving drums] Early bird gets the worm, don't be late Squeaky wheel gets the grease, don't tempt fate Early bird gets the worm, that's no lie Squeaky wheel gets the grease, that's life [Verse 2] [clean electric guitar arpeggios, steady beat] It's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye An eye for an eye and we're all blind Opinions are like assholes, you only want to hear yours not mine When you lay down with dogs you get fleas every time [Chorus] [full energy, heavy guitars] Early bird gets the worm, don't be late Squeaky wheel gets the grease, don't tempt fate Early bird gets the worm, that's no lie Squeaky wheel gets the grease, such is life [Bridge] [drums and electric guitars drop out, acoustic guitar and vocals only] Don't carry on like a pork chop It's always in the last place you look You'll be making an ass of me and you If they all jumped off the bridge [electric guitar swell] would you do that too? [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, driving rhythm section] [Chorus] Early bird gets the worm, don't be late Squeaky wheel gets the grease, don't tempt fate Early bird gets the worm, that's no lie Squeaky wheel gets the grease, such is life [Outro] [slowing tempo, acoustic guitar fades] All these things left etched in my head They are the things Mom and Dad said [final acoustic guitar strum]
