Verse 1:
G minorGm         Bb majorBb               C majorC
Quick fire, I'm on time, you're ahead of schedule
                        G minorGm
Blue walls, propaganda mixed with scare stories

Machines throb, we're fluorescent in buzzing lights
C majorC                          G minorGm
These corridors smell so strange in this alphabet block I'm in
Bb majorBb          C majorC
Fear and loathing and wondering
