Lyrics reprint:

(three... two... one... roll five.)

You got something to say, you better jump in my face

Got something to hide, you're scared as shit and should die

Aim!

Aim!

You say it's time to collect, I'll kick your ass and eject

Time to settle the score, throw your ass through the door

Aim!

Aim!

Reload

You wanna lie like a dog, you're gonna wake up with fleas

Inside a world full of shit, you're still an asshole to me

Aim!

Aim!

Following up my Stigmata tab, I just decided to go ahead and try my hand at this one.

Some of those "play this so many times" notes might not be too accurate, but they give a

general idea of how times they're played.

I'm apologizing up front if they're off by a bit, 'cause I don't normally put notes like

that in any songs I tab, so (as this is my first time),

they're likely not right. Sorry about that. x.x But even despite that, there's only

three riffs to the whole song (discounting the intro), so it's

really simple anyways...

I'm also not 100% sure about Riff C, but that's as close as it sounds to me when I listen

through for a half hour straight on the same section... ¬_¬

Just lettin' ya know to take it with a grain of salt.

ANYway... kickass song with a kickass bass track. Have fun! :D
