A E

Tension it's all that I know

A

I got tension out in traffic

D

I got tension in my office

A E A

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

(Spoken)

A E

After the bad guy killed off all the underdeveloped characters

F#m A

The good guy put a bullet right through his head

E

The screenwriter stood up and told us that all the loose ends had been

F#m

tied, justice is irrelevant

D

Violent problems need violent solutions

A E

'Cause in America we like our bad guys dead

It's called box office, baby

A D E A

It's bigger than the damn Stones

(Spoken)

A E

Well they roped off all of my problems and pointed their fingers at addiction

F#m D A

'Cause they know if you're doin' the pointin' no one's lookin' at you

E

But you know this war on drugs it's funded by the Tobacco and Alcohol Commissions

F#m D

It's not what drugs you're strung out on they care about as much as whose

A E

You see people....people still love drugs

D A D E A

Y'all do anyway...I'm over it

Tension

Tension it's all that I know

I got tension in my classroom

I got tension in my courtroom

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

(Spoken)

A E

When rock and roll first came around the preachers all went crazy

F#m D A

But soon that wasn't enough to bring people in the door

So now they jump on any scandal that they can to try and save me

'Cause they know I don't buy that crap about the Devil's music anymore

A D

E

That's what scares people these days

A D E A

That and Democrats

(Chorus)
