Verse:  
        E                    A   
Come stumble my mirth beaten worker
      E                   A 
I’m Jezmund the family berzerker
      E                         A 
I’m bought for the price of a flagon of rice
E                            A    
The wind buffs the cabin You speak of your life
                  E            A 
Or more willingly Locust the Lurker

Verse:  
  E                           A  
Confuse what you can of the ending
       E                       A 
And revise your despise so impending
          E                                      A 
‘Cause I soak on the wrath That you didn’t quite mask
      E                                   A 
I’m getting it clearly through alternate paths
      E                               A 
Or mixed in with the signal you’re sending

Chorus:
 G                           A       
But who can unlearn all the facts that I’ve learned
      G                         E
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
      G                         A 
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
      G                        A 
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
       G                           A 
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone
G                        A 
Can’t this wait ’til I’m old
E            A 
Can’t I live while I’m young?

Verse:
         E                  A
But no peace for Jezmund tonight
    E                        A
I plug the distress tube up tight
    E                         A
And watch what I say as it flutters away
    E                                     A
And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay
E                          A
