"Walking Contradiction"
Intro:
B B(PM)...
Verse:
Do as l say and not as l do
because the shit's so thick you can't run away.
I beg to differ and on the contrary,
l agree with every word that you say.
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive,
My wallet's fat and so is my head.
Hit and run and then l'll hit you again,
I'm a smart-ass but l'm playing dumb.
Chorus:
NO WORDS
Verse:
Standards set and broken all the time,
Control the chaos from behind a gun.
Call it as l see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb.
Losers winning big on the lottery,
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue.
Constant refutation with myself,
I'm a victim of a catch-22.
Chorus:
I have no belief.
But I believe, I'm a walking contradiction.
And, l ain't got no right.
HOPE YOU LIKE THIS....GEEKSTINK@AOL.COM

Walking Contradiction
By: Green Day
Album: Insomniac
Intro-- E(PM) high E(7th fret)
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit's so deep you can't run away.
I beg to differ on the contrary,
I agree with every word that you say.
Talk is cheap but lies are expensive,
My wallets fat and so is my head.
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb.
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind the gun.
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind, and dumb.
Losers winning big on the lottery,
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue.
Constant refutation with myself,
I'm a victim of catch 22.
Well, I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right.
