CmThree six nine, the figures in a line
I recognized the pattern as the characters aligned
CmAnd time stopped, back to the top
Just a fraction of a fiction but it's everything we've got (you like that?)
CmThree six nine, figures in a line
Significance is fuzzy but I'll get it in time
CmMy mind's shot, a tangled knot
Kinda worried I'll unravel before I understand the plot (you like that?)
[Chorus 2]
EbHell no! And we're taking too much time while they sit and take it out on us
EbHell no! What's it all about? What's it all about?
EbHell no! And they're messing with out minds while we're messing with inanity
