1.
EmEm Piano Chord 

It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
if anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
my head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying


Chorus:
This is where the party ends I'll just sit here wondering
how you stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - and your racist friend


Instrumental:
(Em for four bars)

3.
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
