i'm not good to write tab but at least my ears and eyes are sharps. Well, tend to be...
I already see mistakes on what i wrote (damned).
I've noticed, all you guys might have already, that JB use an Ebow at the intro and a
loopstation to mimic strings such like violins or cello...
He also uses it for the break after second chorus...
So tell me family, now what do you think?
Watch it all go down the great big sink
Watch how the scum it rises to the top
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep
Serving the dodgy companies we keep
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place
Dictionary definition of a rat race
Pay off those losers we elect to lead
Stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed

Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame
Running through the hopelessness and shame

Play along to the video. I only wrote out the chorus and verse once but they do repeat a few times.
He throws in a few fills, they aren't that complicated but I just make up my own.
So tell me family, now what do you think?
Watch it all go down the great big sink
Watch how the scum it rises to the top
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep
Serving the dodgy companies we keep
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place

Stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back
