I m not selling molasses I m not pushing tea

Am Dm

C Gm
I can t access information comin down the mainframe
C Gm Bm A Bm A
Those puerile incantations in couplets or quatrains
Watch it all run amok now watch those idiots score
Till you can t remember that they re idiots any more
Watch that stain increasing spreading out across the earth
Till you can t remember what anything is worth
BRIDGE #2
I can t stand it any longer I can t listen to any more words
I m gonna keep on sharpening axes till they cut right through this dirt
I can t access information comin down the satellite beam
All I hear is psycho babble and I don t know what it means
