[Verse 1]
GmQuick fire, I'm on Bbtime, you're ahead of scheduleC  
Blue walls, propaganda mixed with scare storiesGm  
Straight lines, colour cBboded, lead the way to a Cdead end waiting roomGm

CThese corridors smell so strange in this alphabet blGmock I'm in
BbFear and loathing and Cwondering
Alphabet block
