Intro:
Riff 1.
Verse 1:
(with riff 1)
He's a real cool guy and hes a hero of mine
Travis, Rhinehart rolled into one cute son
Less than zero a grotesque nightmare
Subtly disturbing like normal behaviour
Verse 2:
(with riff 1, palm muted)
I understand nothing and I cannot speak
Walk in the park but the trees are diseased
No sweetheart and I am too confused
I only love my watch and my snakeskin shoes
Bridge 1:
(with riff 2)
I feel so small in the supermarket queue
People seem to laugh at my choice of food
My personality is held together with selotape
A loose fit just like a numb junky's hate
Verse 3:
(with riff 1)
I pretty my face with all this cream and stuff
Ugliness inside much harder to cover up
I lack the thought to care about politics
Just do what I like I ain't democratic
Verse 4:
(with riff 1, palm muted)
Genesis, Huey Lewis, Filofax, CD 5,
Backdrop to disgust over expensive wine
Didn't even know when or why I should stop
I feel so stupid like a joke that belongs
Bridge 2:
(with riff 2)
I guess all psychos are made out of money
I cannot be saved as liberals keep telling me
I don't wanna be understood i just wanna kill
Out of blandness I am your everyday thrill
Chorus 1:
G5 B5 G5 B5
Patrick Bateman we are babies crippled in crime
G5 B5 G5 B5
Patrick Bateman therefore I must be God
C5 D5 E5
I must, I must be God

Verse 5:
(with riff 1)
I touched your lips but now I just paint
Surface reflection all I desired babe
I am melancholy flower cutting through stone
I'm a crime eevrybody has a home
Verse 6:
(with riff 1, palm muted)
Papers hate me but they need my behaviour
Dignity amongst Hollywood trivia
Escape is so cheap of alcohol and whores
Min's the sanity of exclusive gun-laws
Bridge 3:
(with riff 2)
Art critics say porno's easily obscene
Late show reatrds Dice Clay is true poetry
They've never tried living underneath the water
That's real end of the century nausea
Chorus 2:
G5 B5 G5 B5
Patrick Bateman we are babies crippled in crime
G5 B5 G5 B5
Patrick Bateman therefore I must be God
C5 D5 E5
I must, I must be God
Chorus 3:
G5 B5 G5 B5
Patrick Bateman we are babies crippled in crime
G5 B5 G5 B5
