The Lives Of Flies Uke tab by Rusty Cage

[Intro]   
Em B7 Em B7  
Em B7 Em B7  
  
  
[Chorus]  
    Em                                B7  
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born   
Em                             B7  
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn   
   Em                               A             Bb  B7   
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know   
Em                             C       B7      Em  
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go   
  
  
[Verse]   
Em                                          B7  
  I woke up when I hit the ground without a penny to my name   
Em                                     B7  
  I threw away the only love I got and hung my head in shame   
Em                       B7  
  When I had nothing I remembered what I need   
    Em                          C      B7     Em   
  I bought no joy material, but fodder for my greed   
  
  
[Rap]   
    Em  
You got this, everything you needed to survive   
    B7  
The addition is the mission that you be accessorized   
         Em  
But it’s all a pack of lies, you know that it’s true   
       B7  
If you don’t commoditize tell me what would you do   
   Em  
Is everything you’re wearing the extension of self?   
      B7  
Every action that you’re taking for progression of wealth?   
       Em  
If you didn’t have a color TV how would you see?   
       B7  
If you didn’t have a social life then who would you be?   
      Em  
Cause everybody wants, and thinks they need   
        B7  
Whether internet, cell phone, or blood you bleed   
         Em  
But only one of the three is gonna keep you alive   
         B7  
Tell me, how far car can you get without the car you drive   
  
  
[Hook]  
     Am  
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t   
         Em  
They say buy what we sell but you can't tell them you won’t   
       Am  
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done   
               B7  
Well could you give it all away if the time should ever come?   
  
   
[Chorus]  
    Em                                B7  
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born   
Em                             B7  
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn   
   Em                               A             Bb  B7   
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know   
Em                             C       B7      Em  
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go  
  
  
[Rap]   
        Em  
  Now intrinsic as it seems, it’s really just a fallacy   
  B7   
  Everything is challenging it's all about balancing   
Em   
  Cause when you try to have a peace of mind   
           B7  
  It ain’t hard to find, I want a piece of what’s mine   
     Em  
  So fuck the time, everything will come eventually   
    B7  
  Essentially the only thing to hold you back is chemistry   
Em                                                      B7  
  Cause what we put in our bodies is what we put in our brains   
                                                      Em  
  And if the mix isn’t perfect than it can make you insane   
   
  So tell me who’s the one to blame   
        B7  
  Every man, woman, child, if they think the same   
        Em  
  Every docile action, distraction from our passion   
        B7  
  Every session of depression if you lack satisfaction   
  
  
[Hook]  
     Am  
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t   
         Em  
They say buy what we sell but you can't tell em you won’t   
       Am  
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done   
               B7  
Well could you give it all away if the time should ever come?   
  
  
[Chorus]  
    Em                                B7  
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born   
Em                             B7  
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn   
   Em                               A             Bb  B7   
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know   
Em                                     C       B7      Em  
When you hit rock bottom, there's just one way left to go
