Intro 1
(E minor) (Baug) (E minor)
(Baug) (E minor)
Verse 1
[Aesop Rock] (E minor)
Zoom in to the fuming of an
aggravated breed
Via the study of post-
adolesent agitated seeds
Half the patients wasted self
pride at (Baug) Commencement
So I fo (E minor) cus on the urban Oxygen samples,
the hot that made it breathe
They sold Pompeii impression,
waste infections
And twelve steps to lesson
Cretins swiftly tippy toe on hard to (B minor) swallow,
barter concepts
(A minor) (D major) The give- it get- (E minor) it, never let it self (D major) pass the word,
eyeing stubborn (E minor) ness
Martyrs talks money causes (B minor) in
a harvesting (E minor) Spartacus
And someone,
I've thrown long Hail Mary bombs
Toward cookie- cutter Mother Natures
bedazzled (B minor) synthetic fabrics
Life (D major) treats the peasants like
(C major) They tried (D major) to fuck his woman
while he (E minor) slept inside
Well they're merely chasing
perfectionist emblems
When the clock strikes nine
I'll be waking with the best of
routine caffiene team players
For (B minor) the cycle of it
(E minor) Under (D major) a dusted (D minor) angel (D major) (E minor)
heartstring Big Brother (D major) is watching
(A minor) My (E minor) odometer like buzzard to fallen elk,
talking stealth
We got babies, rubber stamps,
and briefcase parts
We on some door- to- door now
Order ten dollars or more,
we'll (B major) shove it (B minor) down your throat (E minor) for free
(D major) I'll sacrifice (D minor) my in (E minor) born
tend (D major) encies
For copper pen (E minor) nies for one
commanding "Gimme that"
So we can retain baby fat
Make the biter snake bedlam
Holocaust freak,
heckle shiesty brain headroom shaped (B minor) planet
Make (E minor) a move, (D major) pause,
(D minor) make a move (D major) break (D minor) cannon
(D major) Bent (E minor) barrel one eight zero,
you'll (B minor) turn, squeeze, ending
(E minor) It's on like it's nev
(A minor) er been
It's bleeding well
It's bigger than a (E minor) breadbox
It can roast my leaky finance
I'll take my seat atop
the Brooklyn Bridge
With a Coke (A minor) and a bag of (E minor) chips
To watch a thousand lemmings
plummet just because
The first one slipped
Sometimes I laugh at victory,
kissing (A minor) these little (E minor) question marks
I tend to underestimate my average
Just another bastard savage
Someday you'll all (A minor) eat out
of my cold (E minor) hand
(A minor) 'cause every (E minor) dog has its day
At which point, I'll pull it away

Verse 2
Now we (E minor) the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted (B minor) on chasing the dream
of someone (D major) that isn't us
(D minor) And we may not hate our jobs
(D major) But we (E minor) hate jobs in general
That don't have to do
with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine- to- five day- in day- out
When we'd (B minor) rather be supporting ourselves
(D major) By being paid to perfect the pasttimes
That we have harbored
(E minor) based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it
sounds dope
Verse 3
[Aesop Rock] It's (E minor)
the year of the silkworm
Everything I built burned yesterday
(B minor) Let's display the purpose
(E minor) that these (D minor) stilts serve
Elevate the spreading of the silk germ (D major)
(E minor) Trying to weave a web but all
that I (B major) believe in is (E minor) dead
Nah brother, it's the year of the jackal
Saddle up on high horse
My torch forced Polar (B minor) is
(E minor) em barrassed
(D minor) Shackle up (D major) the hassle by the dooming
legend marriage (E minor)
I bought some new sneakers
I just hope my (B major) legacy (E minor) matches
It's the year of the landshark
Dry as sand, parched,
damn get these men (B minor) some water
They're out there (E minor) being slaughtered (D minor)
In meaningless wars (D major) so you
don't have to bother (E minor)
And can sit and soak the (B minor) idiotbox trying
to (B major) fuck their daugh (E minor) ters
Man it's the year of the Orphan
Seated adjacent to the firefly circling
(B minor) the torches on your porches
(D major) Trying (D minor) to guard (D major) the fortress of a king
they've never seen or (E minor) met
But all are trained to murder at the
first (B major) sign of (E minor) a threat
Maybe it's the year of the
waterbug
Cockroach utter thug specimen
Your re (B major) sponse,
(B minor) dream (D major) ing of your next (D minor) of kin
I'm still dealing (D major) with this mess I'm in
(E minor) I've been the object of your ridicule
You've (B minor) been a bitch (E minor) lieutenant
God it's the year of the
underpaid employee
Spitting forty plus a week
And trying to (B major) rape (B minor) earth on my off (D major) time
You bought (D minor) dizzy,
I can't keep myself busy enough
(E minor) So you can run run run
And I'ma (B minor) let you think you won
(E minor) EVERYBODY!
Verse 4
We (E minor) the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream
of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do
with fighting our (E minor) own causes
We the American working population
(E minor) Hate the nine to five day- in day- out
But we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By (E minor) be ing paid to perfect
the pasttimes
That we have harbored
based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sound
(E minor) s dope
Verse 5
[Aesop Rock] (E minor)
Fumble outta bed and
(A minor) stumble to the kitchen
(E minor) Pour myself a cup of ambition and
Yawn and stretch (A minor) and
my life is a mess and
(E minor) If I never make it home today,
God bless
Fumble outta bed and
(A minor) stumble to the kitchen
(E minor) Pour myself a cup of ambition and
Yawn and stretch (A minor) and
my life is a mess and
(E minor) If I never make it home today, God bless
