LYRICS:
(A: Adam Green, K: Kimya Dawson)
A: mardi gras came and went, all my money has been spent
K: mardi gras came and went, all my money has been spent
A: how am i gonna pay the rent sitting on your face
K: how am i gonna pay the rent sitting on my ass
Who mistook the steak for chicken, who'm i gonna stick my dick in
We're not those kids sitting on the couch
A: in my former life i was a high roller
K: in my former life i had a sister
A: walked my kids in a diamond stroller
K: i abused her and i dissed her
A: found my calling as a part time bowler
K: she got swept up in a twister
A: traded my wife in for a new 3 holer
K: first i laffed and then i missed her
Who mistook these baths for showers, who ***ed up that leaning tower
We're not those kids sitting on the couch
A: oh get on a greyhound and ride away
K: oh get on a greyhound and ride away
A: live on birthday cake each day
K: different dreams than yesterday
A: tell your grandparents that they're gay
K: tell your grandma you're okay
A: steal their money and run away
K: kiss her cheek and run away
A: me and my friends are so smart
K: me and my friends are so smart
A: we invented this new kind of art
K: we invented this new kind of darts
A: postmodernist throwing darts
K: hit a bullseye cut a fart
A: smoking crack and cutting crack
K: smoking crack and cutting crack
A: who mistook this crap for genius
K: who is dancing on the ceiling

A: who is gonna stroke my penis
K: who is gonna hurt my feelings
We're not those kids sitting on the couch
A: oh, people are shiny like a brand new book
K: even your mother is a crook
A: but if you get a closer look
K: but if i get a closer look
A: there's *** on every hand you shook
K: there's *** on every road you took
A: if you don't believe me look at your hand
K: if you don't believe me read the book
A: who made all these things for killing
K: somebody's making a killing
A: whose pussyhole needs filling
K: whose empty heart needs filling
We're not those kids sitting on the couch
Who mistook the steak for chicken
Who'm i gonna stick my dick in
We're not those kids sitting on the couch

Am/E means an Am chord with an E in the bass; i.e.002210 as opposed to  	x02210
Likewise, 
G/E means an G chord with an E in the bass; 	020033 as opposed to  	320033
I personally prefer 020033 for the G/E but 320003 for the G but it's all personal preference, i suppose.

When playing the chords, strum in time with the music but try and pick out the bass string more on each chord change.
There's a whole variety of ways to play it, it can work quite well if you pick out the bass note and just strum the highest pitched four strings, just to avoid catching the E on the Am chord. You could, of course, just mute the E-string with your thumb... again, whatever works best for you!

Think that's all for this one, anyway, so play on :D
