Verse (Note: This is the base for the verse. It will not keep this exact pattern for the
whole song. Little bits are also changed or added as a lot of it is improvised but don't
worry too much. Also, there are no exact number of measures to play this, just listen to
the song, you should know when the solo kicks in and from there on the first guitar will
go back to this again for the rest of the song)

Solo (Note: This seems right to me the first time it is played but later on in the song
will come up again and a lot will be improvised so don't stick exactly to this the
time).

Every sick, fickle fucker
Childhood's what makes ya
'Til they treat ya like tundra
Weigh those opinions
More like air than lead
Every planned occupation
Surefire disappointment up ahead
'Til they treat ya like desert
See mirages of friendship, face turns read
Here's the soon to be anchor
Build bridges to nothing, you'll get nowhere
Every governor's mother knows
That their bread is buttered by Sam
And what about science?
they find proof and let you make your own decisions
Every childstar wonders
If they have a future up ahead
Every kindhearted banker
I don't think there is one
Every winning opinion
Stand on platforms in water
Filling jars full of silence you'll get nowhere
