Verse 1:
Gm                 Bb                              C
Quick fire, I'm on time, you're ahead of schedule
                                                Gm
Blue walls, propaganda mixed with scare stories
                        Bb                      C                      Gm
Straight lines, colour coded, lead the way to a dead end waiting room
                       Bb
Machines throb, we're fluorescent in buzzing lights
C                                                   Gm
These corridors smell so strange in this alphabet block I'm in
Bb                    C
Fear and loathing and wondering

                                                 Gm
Just turn around, wait a week, till the alphabet block is done

Fear and loathing, still wondering

Alphabet block
