Verse
E A
Come stumble my mirth beaten worker
E A
I’m Jezmund the family berzerker
E A
I’m bought for the price of a flagon of rice
E A
The wind buffs the cabin You speak of your life
E A
Or more willingly Locust the Lurker
Verse
E A
Confuse what you can of the ending
E A
And revise your despise so impending
E A
‘Cause I soak on the wrath That you didn’t quite mask
E A
I’m getting it clearly through alternate paths
E A
Or mixed in with the signal you’re sending
G A
But who can unlearn all the facts that I’ve learned
G E
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
G A
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
G A
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
G A
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone
G A
Can’t this wait ’til I’m old
E A
Can’t I live while I’m young?
Verse
E A
But no peace for Jezmund tonight
E A
I plug the distress tube up tight
E A
And watch what I say as it flutters away
E A
And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay
E A
Not to educate somebody’s fright
