WAR ON DRUGS - Barenaked Ladies Album: Everything to Everyone Transcribed by Colin Principe colinATfirstnamelastnameabove.com
A fabulous song that has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. The viaduct referred to in the song is the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto.
I like to play this with a capo on the 3rd fret. All chords are relative to that.
INTRO
G C x3 G C D
G C She likes to sleep with the radio on D G So she can dream of her favorite song Em C D The one that no one has ever sung since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up She had a soul and we ate it up Thrown away like a paper cup The music falls
The only flaw in her detailed plan Is where she wins back the love of her man Everyone knows that he's never coming back
He took her heart and she took his name He couldn't stand taking all the blame He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked
CHORUS
Em C D Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves G Em Of all these demons haunting us C D To keep us company?
In the dream I refuse to have She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath We're left to deal with the aftermath again
On behalf of humanity I will fight for your sanity How profound such profanity can be
Em C D Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves G Em Of all these demons haunting us C D To keep us company? Em C D Won't it be odd to be happy like we G Em Always thought we're supposed to feel C D But never seem to be?
(For the third verse, you can either play as the first two verses or do the following) G Near where I live there's a viaduct F/G Where people jump when they're out of luck Em D Raining down on the cars and trucks below
They've put a net there to catch their fall Like it'll stop anyone at all What they don't know is when nature calls, you go
They say that Jesus and mental health Are just for those who can help themselves But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?
From the very fear that makes you want to die Is just the same as what keeps you alive It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves Of all these demons haunting us To keep us company
Won't it be odd to be happy like we Always thought we're supposed to feel But never seem to be
Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs My hands were tied and the phone was bugged Another died and the world just shrugged it off
