Verse 1
E
If there is no such thing as time,
you're already there,
And you're controlling
this cycle
You say, "Man, look what we found here,
Einstein,"
Or whoever you're talking to, Tesla
- whoever you're talking to
Problems of the future can be solved by man
A
E

So the Sumerian tablets,
they say the same thing like Genesis said
That there were chariots of fire
that came into the sky

look at all these people listening to this guy"
You know what I mean? And so
that's just what the trip's like, that
Bbm
You know? It still exists, and their bloodline goes back
- back into Sumerian times
C#
You know, they didn't call it reptilian,
they didn't call it that
But they did, because they called him Satan,
they called him the Devil
And it's the same damn trip
E
It's a negative force,
coming in on a positive force
Because it's a third dimension, right?
