Intro - The city children, they know how to breed They've touched some love, but they believe in need I said to myself, I said, "I... I jerk those tears I don't cry." The downtown bigots, they want to be friends I filled their cup up until they said when I said to myself, I said, "I... I jerk those tears I don't cry." I feel a fever, a generation I am just human, Iâ??m information It's true, it's true You gonna die, die, die, and do that tear jerk And cry, cry, cry, and do that tear jerk Why? Why? Why? And do that tear jerk, too I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you The progress mongers, the southpaws of smoke Full-formed veneers for us average folks I said to myself, I said, "I... I jerk those tears I donâ??t cry." And after us, the engines will search For fashion youth, the signs and wonders in shirts I said to myself I said, "I... I jerk those tears I don't cry." I feel a fever, a generation I am just human, Iâ??m information It's true, it's true You gonna die, die, die, and do that tear jerk And cry, cry, cry, and do that tear jerk And I, I, I, I do that tear jerk, its true You gonna die, die, die, and do that tear jerk And cry, cry, cry, and do that tear jerk Why? Why? Why? And do that tear jerk, too I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you (This part is mostly drums, so I like to just do one stab at the beginning of each line and maybe do a light tapping on the guitar so that it's not completely a capella. I'll provide the chords I do the stabs of.) I stole these rhythms from the man who had them, and uh He wiped his chin down with Uncle Tom's napkin, and uh He said you choose this day whom you will serve, and uh Take bits of grace, not just the things you will deserve, and uh "Well, Jesus Christ," I said "you're changing your mind.", and uh You're turning water back from that wine (resume playing normally) It's the day the Lord has made and the year of rabbits, too I got my calendar mind and it's set on you I'm gonna die, die, die, and do that tear jerk Why? Why? Why? And do that tear jerk And I, I, I, I do that tear jerk, its true You gonna die, die, die, and do that tear jerk Why? Why? Why? And do that tear jerk And I, I, I, and do that tear jerk, it's true I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you (let ring) I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you
