Tension ssit'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 ssit'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 
A                                     E
So now they jump on any scandal that they can to try and save me 
F#m                                D                      A            E
'Cause they know I don't buy that crap about the Devil's music anymore 
A          D
Republicans
                            E         
That's what scares people these days 
                    A  D  E  A
That and Democrats 

(Chorus)
