Pain of Salvation - Cribcaged

      Tempo: 68.

[Intro]

Am
The only cribs that we should care for
F
Are the ones that we are here for
Dm
The ones belonging to our children
C                  G/B
That do that we do, scar from our wounds

Am
The only cribs that make a difference
F
Where the magic really happens
Dm
Don't come with a Mercedes Benz
C               G/B
Or a wide screen showing nothing

Am      Am/G  Am/F  E
Showing nothing...

[Verse I]

Am
I'm sick of home control devices
F
Sick of sickening home designers
Dm
Sick of drugs and gold and strip poles
C               G/B
Sick of homies, sick of poses

Am
Despite the nodding staff that serves you
F
Despite your name on clothes and perfume
Dm
Despite the way the press observes you
C
You're just people
G/B
You're just people

Am          Am/G  Am/F  E      x3
You're just people...

[Chorus]

Am
Successful people
Am/G
Dressed up people
Am/F
Smiling people
E
Famous people
Am
Red carpet people
Am/G
Wealthy people
Am/F
Important people
E
But still just people

Am  Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#

[Verse II]

Am
So fuck the million dollar kitchen
F
Fuck the Al Pacino posters
Dm
Fuck the drugs, the gold, the strip poles
C               G/B
Fuck the homies, fuck the poses
Am
Fuck the walls they build around them
F
Fuck the bedroom magic nonsense
Dm
I don't want to hear their voices
C               G/B
As long as they vote with their wallets

Am
Fuck the silly "throw you out" joke
F
Fuck the framed cigar DeNiro smoked
Dm                             C
Fuck their lack of originality and personality
G/B
Fuck this travesty
Am
Fuck this new norm
Am
Fuck conformity
F
Fuck their Kristal
F
Fuck their sordity
Dm
Fuck the way they fuck equality
C
Fuck their freebie gear
G/B
Fuck the ones they wear

Am          Am/G  Am/F  E      x6
You're just people...

[Chorus]

Am
Successful people
Am/G
Dressed up people
Am/F
Smiling people
E
Famous people
Am
Red carpet people
Am/G
Wealthy people
Am/F
Important people

But still just people

[Outro]

Am
The only cribs that we should care for

Are the ones that we are here for

The ones belonging to our children

That do what we do, scar from our wounds.
