streets
(Do stanza chords)
I have been through this and that and almost everything,

Intro/Stanza/Chorus: A5 D5 C#5 G#5
Last night I dreamt I was a man
A great white gentleman
Behind the walls of our haunted school
Run by a little orange man
I was the great white gentle- man
Chorus
But I’m not handsome like Vhosky
Got no muscles like Vhosky
Can’t sing as good as Vhosky
But I know I am
Not as scary as Vhosky
Yes, his name is Vhosky
He only wants to cross the road
He doesn’t wanna ride your fucking jeepney
Belligerent Vhosky
Chorus II
But I’m not handsome like Vhosky
Got no muscles like Vhosky
Can’t sing as good as Vhosky
But I know I am
Happier than Vhosky
I don’t eat porkchop like Vhosky
When I get rejected, I don’t
masturbate violently
But I’m not handsome like Vhosky
Got no muscles like Vhosky
I can’t draw as good as Vhosky
but I know

Of your cocksucking smile when you say “I’m sorry”

She was getting on fine, fine with someone else
She lied, lied in our bed, giving him head
You were running the streets, our friends said
All fine, find a way to cry, find a way to die
Contemplating suicide almost all the time
I’m tired, tired of her lies, tired of her thighs
Of her cocksucking smile when she says “I’m sorry”
(Repeat chorus)

The Pervs Cebu City, Philippines
Being born on the 4th of July (2008), we are always reminded that independence comes with a price - a price we're paying in
painful instalments to a declining hegemony while being taught otherwise; and ignorance, made into a standard. With that, The Pervs still refuse to fall in a straight line into a tight wind of social constructs and indifference. (But actually, pfffffft!)
