This is the way I play "Small Man, Big Mouth" by Minor Threat, as heard on their self-titled album. I am not responsible for any mistakes, as I play this as it sounds.

LYRICS:
(Verse)
Compete, compete, do it for the boys
Empty barrels make the most noise
You're always on the move
You've always got something to prove
(Chorus)
What the fuck are you fighting for?
Is it because you're five foot four?
You better be happy with what you got
You'll never get anymore
(Verse)
You laugh at a man when he tries
You're trying to make up for your size
To you life is a rivalry
Keep a step ahead of me
(Repeat Chorus)
Small man, Big Mouth (x4)
