Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
The  (A minor) beat boys mock time
with persuasion and rhyme
With jargon that enhances you
and makes you want to live again
The hollow whine that they refine seduces you,
infuses you
To make you want to live like them
They take you through familiar scenes
then paint them into vacuums
spray landscapes into dream machines
you fantasize of where it comes
the beat of life, the rhythm drums
the drudgery that everyone is forced to bear
is filtered through their silken
eyes and frozen hair
remolded into caring words
and bleeding hearts that shift down down
from those vented palaces of art
up there, to you, right here
a something that you should admire
something that you should revere
but where is the alternative
I think that makes us want to
give instead of stealing
Every beat of sweat that breaks
from every burning brow
And yet I think that I would be the one
To start our rhythm
To start our rhythm off the ground
I'm freezing up in sad,
I think I'm freezing up in sad
I'm both emotionless and
sensual and senseless
I'm a fool and everything,
I'm fucking useless
I'm impotent, I'm prayer and I'm a liar
I'm the father, I'm the son,
and I'm the holy ghost
I'm everything you hate, giant
Everything you love the most
I'm sitting here just waiting
for the future
Knowing that it's just a
cheeky feature
Something to thrill ya,
something to intrigue ya
But damn it, I can't even get a picture
So knowing that I missed
the final hour
Knowing that I won't be there
And yet I think I would have been the one
To drop the bomb, to drop the bomb,
to drop the bomb, to drop the bomb
Oh yes, I think that I would be the one
To start the rhythm,
to start the rhythm of the drum
To start the rhythm,
Am 
to start the rhythm of the drum  (A minor) 
To start the rhythm,
Am 
to start the rhythm of the drum  (A minor) 
Am 
Am 
Am 
 (A minor) Just got that  (A minor) rhythm, just got that  (A minor) rhythm off the drum
