Another great song from their second album.
I've seen many people play this song using nothing but power chords,
but i think it sounds better this way. It gives the song a heavier touch.
But hey, this is just my way of seeing it....
Standard tuning.

LYRICS:
Fine place for a day full of breakdowns
takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tak on the road start the meatplow
Got a bullet but it aint mine
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yeah to break us (me) down
They make us hate and we make it bleed
But i got a lover and, yeah, she shows me how
to understand it, yeah, to understand
I got a brother and well he shows me how
to make amends, yeah to make amends with it.
Take a break from the mouse trap we call home
takes more than a message to make me smile
i can fell when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on.

Have fun, drink milk
