Here s a new song that Ted Leo performs. It s awesome. I love it. I think the lyrics
are 98% right. Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other
lines might be iffy. Other than that, I think it s fairly accurate. Not sure what he
does between the verses though. Maybe some variation of the D chord. The notes that he
picks are e, d c#, b.

I spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teas
picking part
,, ,
combatting the dubious induced haze
barely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed
I ain t slept very well for days
for all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians
I should try to bring a better spirit to my day
although I can t believe our souls are at their basest, good
i d like to live as if I could (oh yea)
i d like to live as if I could
You try to offer something without asking much return
Picking part
At best even less than it is worth
And watch it taken every day from every petty picker
More than you can accumulate from birth
No, you might never know how the work you ve done affects your living
Trust in animus might just get you through the day
And though I don t believe it s lucky when you knock on wood
I d to live as if I could (oh yea)
I d to live as if i could.

And though I don t believe in God, and don t think that I should
i d like to live as if I could (oh yea)
i d like to live as if I could.
