MEATPLOW

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS



Another great song from their second album.

I've seen many people play this song using nothing but power chords,

but i think it sounds better this way. It gives the song a heavier touch.

But hey, this is just my way of seeing it....

LYRICS:

Fine place for a day full of breakdowns

takes more than a meltdown to show us how

Throw a tak on the road start the meatplow

Got a bullet but it aint mine



They got these pictures of everything

To break us down, yeah to break us (me) down

They make us hate and we make it bleed



But i got a lover and, yeah, she shows me how

to understand it, yeah, to understand

I got a brother and well he shows me how

to make amends, yeah to make amends with it.



Take a break from the mouse trap we call home

takes more than a message to make me smile

i can fell when she kisses me sleeping

But not when the news is on.
