_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ I take ten steps with a bent left vision I study the disorders we've [F#] absorbed inside
the village I understand the [C#] plagues and why they shake
hands with my grimace They remain up in my face [Bm] like top to bottom
train car fillings Let's question the ascension of a broken
social icon and various [F#] domino [C#] effects
I'm a lotus hexer with a mission Just to administer the endorse sucker punch
to an [N] inedible condition [Bm] No alibi, love is used as a guide by the civilized
Some see it as the body heat you feel when you close your [C#] eyes
That's so much of a lie You can leave your hair dyed and scorch your
roots As the truth hits [Bm] your ears begin to cry
Why is it like this?
Why the fuck do I care?
I don't have the answers or [F#] at least the ones you wanna hear
City lights look [C#] like bright loops of fireflies Many see the truth The proof!
[D] Only when the [Bm] liar dies Tires screech to a halt and the ground cries
Spit sparks speak to the streets The skin [F#] marks are replies
Brief discussions of what we [C#] rode through Entrenching the vocals, the hopeless, they
hopeful [Bm] Toxic fumes choke you as I walk out my door
Step into the pollution I breathe in the problems
Exhale [F#] solutions Physically [C#] the situation's hard to stop
I had a wicked jump shot and so cracked rock on back [Bm] flies
Catenotes in this apocalypse A street chronicle
Abnormal abdominals [F#] Push ups phenomenal
[C#] Relaxing Drinking my six pack maxing
Faxing my thoughts on the satellite [Bm] Be a Donahue
[F#] Push it Table talk, salt and pepper [B] conversation
Integrated sectors Metropolis and Mecca it's a conspiracy
You know I can't lie, dukes
Sometimes I feel the rats got a [D#] better deal than I do
[Bm] Those things bend and slow like skunks Pulse that [F#] buckle under the rump of my drum
Steadily searching [B] for something new under [Em] the sun
But it's stagnant, act [D] development versus [Bm] madness
These bend and slow like skunks Pulse that buckle under the rump of [C#] my drum
Steadily searching for something new under the sun
But it's stagnant, [Bm] act development versus the burden
A new universe is ancient so I stay patient In a gravel pit traveling [C#] thoughts unraveling
Pacing, embracing light of America and found the shade of darkness
Underground, the train car used to be my apartment
[Bm] Sick of people rushing in the doors before I get out
The conductor's closing the doors [F#] before I get in
I shout, the blizzard's coming, the [C#] blizzard's coming
Don't get worried now, we've been in a cold world
We just [Bm] getting flurries now
Yeah it's like slow down, you're moving much too fast
The bust to the [F#] finale fashion glasses Delicate [C#] demeanor and I teach you how to hang
But we like 19 [F#m]-somethings when he clicks outside the [Bm] nag
Dear obedience, I apologize for the faulty academics
But they placed us [F#] in a miserable stasis I let bygones be [B] bygones
But trying to see [F#] eye to eye with [C#] a faceless just ain't [Bm] work in the way the manual paints it
See I spoke in a blue note factory where most cats hassle babies, lambing solo
And when the [C#] last red brick topples over the earth to intercept your crooked little mess
I could be found in a [Bm] social coma directly to your left
Engaged in a conversation, I marvel with my breath
Regarding how to [D] document the shady baby [C#] steps
I bounce checks like a modern man
Sequence one eye open while the other two drip together [Bm] specimens from the promised land
This for the thinkers
This for the urchins allergic to their own stingers
[C#] This for the absurd verdict linkers
This for that cat at my shows that's always got prophetic opinions but [Bm] can't remember where his drink is
I'm wallowing, shrugging, I'm plugging your corporation
Cause we highly cat [F#] addicted to the sickly warped sensation
Answer this, [B] loyalist said and done are you a [Em] memorable trooper?
Or just a lab [Bm] rat on the run?
Choose one
Those things, bandits, low life scum
Post that buckle under [F#] the rumble of my drum
Instead of these [B] surgeons, something new under [F#] the sun
[C#] These things, bandits, [Bm] active element, burst of madness
These things, bandits, low life scum
Post that buckle [F#] under the rumble of my drum
Instead of these [B] surgeons, something new [F#] under the sun
