[Verse 1]
F#                      A
Now run along face lift
F#                                       A
If it kills, I got news: it ain't a side effect
F#                          A
Call it a full reject or
F#                                       A
A fuel-injected, type-corrected, teenage obstacle

[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#
All I wanna do is have my mind erased
A
I'm begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all
F#
Drug company, where's a pill for me?
A
I call it mind eraser, no chaser at all
F#
On permanent leave of everything
A
Law-biding, dick-riding, fun police, leave us alone
F#
Dulling up the edge of a razor blade
A                                                      F# E Eb
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?


[Chorus 1]
F#                         E                          Eb
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
F#                        E                     Eb
"Understanding is cruel," the monkey said as it launched to space
F#                       E                   Eb
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
F#                 E                    Eb
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

[Verse 2]
F#                    A
Robotic mom bought me
F#                 A
D-I-Y kit lobotomy
F#                                            A
It's a tuck, taste, dance craze, movie of the week
F#                                         A
You'll buy the doll, kick-a the ball, then piss on the sheets

[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#
All I want to do is have my mind erased
A
I'm begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all
F#
Drug company, where's a pill for me?
A
It reads "mind eraser, no chaser" in bright lights
F#
On permanent leave from everything
A
New age goose step on a karma-collision
F#
Dulling up the edge of a razor blade
A                                                      F# E Eb
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?

[Interlude]
E
Your own
E
Your own
E        F# E Eb
Your own

[Chorus 2]
F#                         E                          Eb
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
F#                        E                     Eb
"Understanding is cruel," the monkey said as it launched to space
F#                       E                   Eb
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
F#                 E                    Eb
Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

[Outro]
F#                         E                          Eb
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste
F#               E              Eb
I know that I am your dangerous side effect
F#               E              Eb
I know that I am your dangerous side effect
F#                        E                          Eb
Well I'm not sorry to say we just ran out of give a shit
