O.D. on Easter afternoon
G#m F#m E B
My mamma told me, "Baby stay clean,
C#m E
there's no in between."
And all you ladies and you gentleman
Between's all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll her up in virgin white
G#m F#m E
You disappoint me
C#m D#m
You people rakin' in on the world
