This microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Ya either drop tha hits like De La O or get tha
fuck off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger
Tha triggers cold empty ya purse

2nd Verse: (dist.) Same as 1st Verse

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes,
not need, just feed tha war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Line up to tha mind cemetery
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn tha book they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round the family
With pockets full of shells

Solo:

You need a toggle switch to play this solo, I've seen it live.
An alternate way to play this is by scraping the side of the
pick up and down the low E string (which has now become an
Eb). There's no real way I can show you how to do this
exactly, you will have muck around a bit to get it right. You
can get the different sounds depending on how fast or slow you
scrape it and where abouts on the string you scrape. Have fun!

[play Bridge again, then the Intro]
