Biografía:
Dear Landlord are a punk rock band from Carbondale, Illinois. Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds the Copyrights- Adam (bass/vocals) and Brett (guitar/vocals), and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers Rivethead- Brad (drums/lyrics) and Zack (guitar/vocals) they carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds.

B G# E
[Verse 1]
B
Don't fuck with perfection, this really is a masterpiece
G# F# E
The brainchild of assholes with everything to lose
B
Hellbent on forcing the burden from religion
G# F# E F#
That demands if you're fucked, you'll stay fucked forever
[Chorus]
B F# C#m E B
Try to kill the sound of all your hopes and dreams
F# C#m E
It's easy street inside the gears of their machines
B C#m E
Yeah, we do what we can to get by
[Verse 2]
B
Like holding back the urge to walk into traffic
G# F#
And when the worker's rights start cutting into the profits, what's left?
E B
Eleven hour days leave you just enough to forget them
B
It's just a choice between a gun and a bottle
G#
Don't know which one you'll reach for when you punch out tomorrow
G E
So now get busy dying or get busy forgetting
F#
There's no way to win in a world that you never made
[Solo]
B G# E
B G# G
[Bridge]
B D#
It's reliable failure we've all come to know
G# F# E
At the end of the day misery is all alone
B
The American dream is just saltpeter and shame
G# F# E F#
And now we're desperate grabbing a fistful of rain
[Chorus]
B F# C#m E B
Try to kill the sound of all your hopes and dreams
F# C#m E
It's easy street inside the gears of their machines
B C#m
Yeah, we do what we can
G# E F#
Yeah, just do what you can to get by
[Verse 3]
B F#
And stay right where they want you
G#
There to hold onto
F#
Things that will haunt you
B
Night after night after night
F#
Stay right where they want you
G#
You might believe that it's all true
F#
Can you ignore what will haunt you
E
Every single night?
[Interlude]
E D# B
F# G# E
[Bridge]
B F#
All our fears just to keep us down
G# E
There's nothing here on our side of town
B F#
Nothing's saved, it's been replaced
G# E
Now it's buried in the rubble of a world that we never made
B F#
All our fears to keep us down
G# E
There's nothing here on our side of town
B F#
Nothing's saved, it's been replaced
G# E
Now it's buried in the rubble of a world that we never made
