Am
We were spitting venom at most
C
everyone we know if the

damned gave us a roadmap then we'd
F
know just where to go
Am
Now let it drop
C
Let it all drop
G
Let it all drop
F
Oh, let it all fall off
Am
Well, you were talking soda pop
C
You talk it quite a lot
G
The opinions that I do not give
F
Are the opinions I ain't got
Am
So let it drop
C
Let it all drop
G
Let it all drop
F
Let it all fall off
[[The rest of the song follows the same pattern, but here are the rest of the lyrics...]]
Oh, well
You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity
You'd know which way to go
Well, let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
My ears were pressing firmly right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out, your words were not so clear
Now drop
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked-up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed-up history
Well, we went downtown and we sat in the rain
Both looking one direction and waiting for a train
And thought over, thought over
I don't know you kept track
I didn't know there was a score
Well, it looks like you're the winner
I ain't going to play no more
It's over
Game over
Well, we walked real stiff
And our canes tapped the ground
You hit me with yours and said
"You're going to stare me down"
It's over
Oh, it's over
You can say what you want
But don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to decide what's fair
It's over
Think it over

You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a roadmap then you'd know just where to go
So we carry all the groceries in
While hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless
I do not know what can
So as to say
"What a rotten thing to say!
Such an awful thing to say!
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry"
What always did
What always did
What always had to slang
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let it all fall off
Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh, let if all fall off
Cheer up, baby
It really wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up, baby
It really wasn't always quite so bad
Now, come on, baby
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It really wasn't quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up
Cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Well, cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
Cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
