For the verses and pre-choruses I just tabbed them out and then put
the lyrics below, but for the chorus I just put the chords above the
lyrics, I didn't think I needed to tab out the chorus, you just strum
the chords. I found the lyrics on the net but there were some errors
in them. There might be more


Whenever there's a *** under the tab it means play that part
palm-muted.

VERSE 1: [Play tab above twice]

Until the break of dawn
Life, life, and I quote by the letter
Time, time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you
Crime, crime, rockin' like Janet Reno
Time, time, 18 and life in Chino
Freud, Freud all along it's true
Well you see the common day catches up to you yeah

VERSE 2: [play like VERSE 1]

You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team, the double header
Son of Sam, fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplumb
Cos wherever you're at that's the chip used on
Lies, lies says he's down at the Bahamas
Tries, tries all you little hoochy mamas
No way, none of this is true
When you see it coming down when the joke's on you


PRE-CHORUS: [play like first PRE-CHORUS]

Knock down the walls
It's alive in you
Knock down the place
You alone it's true
Knock down the walls
It's alive in you
You're gonna keep your head up through it all


CHORUS: [play like first CHORUS]

You're gonna bust out ohh (Original Prankster)
Break out yeah (Original yeah)
Bust out ohh (Original Prankster)
You'll never stop now, stop now
