you took a time bomb and a case of crackers
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# ) F ( F – C )
and you made a maelstrom of organic debris ,
Dm A#
then you took a work bench , and a rusty anvil ,
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# ) F ( F – C )
and you polished them for everyone to see ,

Dm A#
you have created an unhealthy monster ,
C ( F – G ) A A
but you’re nowhere but nowhere to be found ,
Dm A#
so i guess i’ll just cope with my provisions ,
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# )
from now until the day they lay me down

Dm A#
you took a baboon and made him perfect
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# ) F ( F – C )
you took a lion and stripped him of his pride
Dm A#
then you took a million more varieties a scalpel and a sartory
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# ) F ( F – C )
and you stitched up a horrible surprise

Dm A#
you have created an unsocial monster
C ( F – G ) A A
and you’re searched for all over the globe
Dm A#
and most believe that things would sure be better
C C Dm Dm

Dm A#
you took the most abundant smallest bits of matter
C Dm
and you instilled them with affinity
Dm A#
and then you stratified accumulations weeded out bad variations
C Dm
and blended up your unique recipe

Dm A#
you have created a powerful monster
C ( F – G ) A A
with direction and purpose all its own
Dm A#
and if you were here would things be any different?
C ( C – A ) Dm ( Dm – A# )
or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone?
