[A] [D] vamp
At first it was pleasant, a dream of everlasting life in paradise
Brothers spinning perfection, everything wonderful and in line
Then the tales got too tall, the fables too unbelievable
I had to leave the hall, the society fabric was insensible
The rules too rigid, stand aside and waiting for this system of things to end
The price was high I had to leave behind most of my family and friends
[Gdim] God damned independent by choice
[F#m] After leaving the religion
[E] Listening to my inner [A] voice
At first it was fun, a frat party every night
Brothers drinking and laughing, I felt Animal House delights
Then the cruel tricks started, we pledges became slaves
I had to leave the house, fraternity fabric was insensible
The rules too rigid, grades go down the tubes so long as I did pledge duties
I took off the blindfold, it was time to leave
God damned independent by choice
After leaving the fraternity
Listening to my inner voice
