Intro: (Rhythm Figure 1 x4)

Verse 1: (w/ Rhythm Figure 1)

And the wise men say I don't want to hear your voice

And the thin men say I don't want to hear your voice

(start Rhythm Figure 2)

And they're cursin' me and they won't let me be

There's nothing to say

(Rhythm Figure 3)

There's nothing to do

(Rhythm Figure 1, more forcefully)

Verse 2:

And my mother say we spit on you son some more (?)

And the building(?) say we spit on your face some more (?)

And the feeling is that there's something wrong

'Cause I can't find the words and I can't find the songs

Stop whispering

Start shouting

Stop whispering

Start shouting

Dear sir, I have a complaint

Dear sir, I have a complaint

Can't remember what it is

It's not a word (?)

It's not a word (?)

Stop whispering

Stop whispering

Stop whispering

Start shouting
