Tried to use the amp nobs and my guitar switch/nobs to compensate for Russel Lissack's many many pedals... and well, this is what comes out :S The solo lacks some sustain and all that, and yes, I actually hate the MG15DFX amp from Marshal. Either it doesn't give a nice sound or i dunno how to use it, but i can even get a better sound from a Harley Benton in terms of tone :( And I'm not the best guitarist.... so if your ears are bleading by the end of the song... apologies :(

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
Wearing their masks of cool and disinterest
Commerce dressed up as rebellion
Because we are so handsome and we are so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last forever
Make it cruel just make me laugh
We can't be hurt
Drink to forget your blues on the weekend
Think about more things to buy
The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing
And how to grow my hair long
So why do you go picking fights that you will lose?
(When u have entertainment, when give you things to pass the time)
So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb x2)
Well I was brave
And unique,
Intelligent,
A snowflake
I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted over the age of 14
Tattoo our arms
Converse shoes
Cynical
But we still do it
We tell ourselves that we're different
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
All, all my pain and honour is used up
All my guns are rusted
So when are you going to realise those are not your wrongs to right
Have another line, have another drink
(Pop songs wont change the government)
I am a martyr I just need a motive
I am a martyr I just need a cause
I'm a believer I just need to a moment
I'm a believer I just need a cause
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We are finding it so hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves
We have nothing at all to say
Uniform
There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
All the teenagers looked the same

[09emilythehippy]

@FineLives4motoX Danke!!

[Sounds77]

can you give me your tabs for the "I am a martyr" part? thanks mate

[09emilythehippy]

I never wrote a tab, and i didn't use one.

[LokiAashraya]

Hey, yea dont worry the Marshall MG it is just a bad amp. It was Marshall's way of making money.

The sound is better than i expected. Great cover!

[RachelD1996]

Nice choice in music (:

[razvanbraila]

good played. this is a harley benton ?

[willmer88]

sorry, wasn't calling you stupid. guess i just got started up because i play a telecaster deluxe. classic tele sound with identical controls to the les paul including toggle placement.

[willmer88]

why do les paul lovers think that they're the only guitar with toggle switches.

[TerriKatieDeBuono]

Great song and great playing. :)
