Drive across the country, tell your story walking,
Em F
No one's keeping you captive, in the town that let you down, so sorry.
C
Blame it on the television, blame it on the company,
Em F
Don't blame it on the fundamental fact, that no one owes you something.
C Em
I've come about my share, I only want what's fair,
F

C

Well when you like something, it's an opinion
Em F
But when I like something, it's a manifesto,
C
Pomposity is when you always think you're right
Em F
Arrogance is when you know.
F* F
Maybe we could start a little independent repertory movie house or something.
F* F
She said, "Sorry but I think you might be just protecting your investment
Or else assigning blame."
G C
Pike Street to Park Slope, Brooklyn.
