[verse 1]
       E
We are building a religion
       D
We are building it bigger
       A
We are widening the corridors
 
And adding more lanes
 
        E
We are building a religion
   D
A limited edition
       A
We are now accepting callers
 
for these pendant key chains
 
      E
To resist it is useless
       D
It is useless to resist it
    A
His cigarette is burning
 
But he never seems to ash
 
       E
He is grooming his poodle
      D
He is living comfort eagle
        A
You can meet at his location
 
But you better come with cash
 
[chorus]
         E         A
Now his hat is on backwards
        E           A
He can show you his tattoos
      E            A
He is in the music business
  E    A          E
He is calling you "DUDE!"
 
[verse 2]
    E
Now today is tomorrow
    D
And tomorrow today
     A
And yesterday is weaving in and out
 
        E
And the fluffy white lines
         D
That the airplane leaves behind
       A
Are drifting right in front
 
of the waining of the moon
 
[chorus]
       E          A
He is handling the money
     E           A
He's serving the food
   E                A
He knows about your party
 E     A          E
He is calling you "DUDE!"
 
[verse 3]
     E
Now do you believe
        D
In the one big sign
     A
The doublewide shine
 
On the bootheels of your prime
 
         E
Doesn't matter if you're skinny
         D
Doesn't matter if you're fat
        A
You can dress up like a sultan
 
In your onion head hat
 
        E
We are building a religion
        D
We are making a brand
          A
We're the only ones to turn to
 
When your castles turn to sand
 
       E
Take a bite of this apple
    D
Mr. corporate events
       A
Take a walk through the jungle
 
Of cardboard shanties and tents
 
      E
Some people drink Pepsi
      D
Some people drink Coke
    A
The wacky morning DJ
     E
Says democracy's a joke!
 
             E
He says now do you believe
       D
In the one big song
    A
He's now accepting callers
 
Who would like to sing along
 
          E
She says, do you believe
       D
In the one true edge
    A
By fastening your safety belts
 
And stepping towards the ledge
 
[chorus]
      E            A
He is handling the money
      E           A
He is serving the food
      E             A
He is now accepting callers
E     A          E
He is calling me "DUDE!"
 
[verse 4]
    E
Now do you believe
      D
In the one big sign
     A
The doublewide shine
 
On the bootheels of your prime
 
         E
There's no need to ask directions
        D
If you ever lose your mind
        A
We're behind you
A
We're behind you
 
And let us please remind you
         A
We can send a car to find you
                      E
If you ever lose your way
