Picking Sides

picking sides Intro : E B7 A A7 E x2 verses : E B7 A E A E A B7 Chorus : E B7 A A E well just ’cause i drink don’t mean i don’t hate stupid drunks . but just ’cause i’m singing it , that don’t mean shit , that don’t mean that i’m not one . but those jerks by the kegs , they aren’t leaving me no ground to stand . so if we’re picking sides , i guess that i hate the policeman , hate the white man tonight . repeat Intro ( add mutes ) and well , i’ve been thinking things , thinking things that i just hope aren’t true . like maybe i don’t choose punk rock , because punk rock chooses you . cause well , i’ve seen the same bands so many dozens of times , but with dozens of different names across dozens of different state lines . and i won’t always admit it , but i think that the world’s better off with the world better in it . and so if we’re picking sides , i guess that i Am for every shitty three - chord high school punk band . repeat Intro
