This is where the party ends - I can't stand here listening

G C / D G / D C / D

to you - and your racist friend

I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite

G C / D G -

talking to you - and your racist friend

1.

It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended

if anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended

my head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending

listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying

This is where the party ends I'll just sit here wondering

how you stand by your racist friend

I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite

talking to you - and your racist friend

Instrumental:

(Em for four bars)

|: D G / A :| (x7)

D -

(1st Chorus)

3.

Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway

your friend apologizes, he could see it my way

he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking

can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding

(1st Chorus to ending)

G C / D G C / D

talking to you - and your racist friend

-E.M.
