[D] Some folks trust reason, _ others trust the mind.
[A] [D] I don't trust nothing, _ but I know we come [A] out [D] right.
Say it once again now, I hope you understand.
When it's turned over, _ _ man, it's just a man. _
Playing, _ playing in the band. _
_ _ They break, they break on the band.

Some folks look for answers, _ others look for fights.
_ Some folks look for three dots, just to look to see [A] the [D] sights.
I can tell you future, folks just look what's in your hand.
But I can't stop nothing, I'm just playing in the band.
_ Playing, _ _ playing in the band. _
They break, _ they break on the [A] land.

[D] You just keep turning while I'm playing in the band.
_ If a man among you's got no sin upon [A] his [D] hand,
well, then cast all that you've got, playing in the band. _
Playing, _ _ playing in the band.
They break, they break on the land. _ _ _ _ _ _
