As long as you can dig up proof

As cold as water through the roof

Brutal as depicted truth

that kid's a fuckin' goof

turn your lanterns low

Chorus same as above.

it continues like this for another couple of bars with a little interlude

type thing

verse 3 (same riff, different timing)

I'd like to stand up soon and show

I'd like to let some people know

I'd turn my bucket over

I'd turn my lanturn low

chorus (basically same as the first)

Use main riff for outro and the solo is based in E and around the riff
