   during the solo you just play the intro/chorus riff

   

   The timing is probably off, but you should be able to 

   get the fell for it from listning and playing along with

   the album.

  

  Lyrics:

  

  (intro) 

  

  VERSE:

  And now it's coming on down

  A hard and fast regime

  I see 'em coming man but I'm a fish you cannot clean

  Could be it's coming apart

  so close they cannot miss

  I rise above the silence

  to a sea of belligerance

  I hear it come to this

  choke on that dialouge

  Just how could I predict when we'd get here

  man we wouldn't get along

  And now it's comin on up a hard and fast regime

  I see them smiling

  they're smiling on amphetamines

  

  CHORUS:

  Absolutely Absolutely Absolutely mine

  Try to soothe me get my back up and I'll paint the sky

  

  2nd VERSE

  All told it's a personal bias try to pry them apart

  No Question It's one sided here

  where the bones are charred

  Could be they're comin on easy

  they've mastered their technique

  No way to rise above it

  I'm sure that it is obscene

  It's a driving shame

  I can peel their paint

  It's a driving shame

  

  (chorus)

  

  Bridge:

  I can hear them swaying

  I can hear them swaying

  I can peel thier paint

  It's a driving...It's a driving shame

  

  Guitar Solo(play chorus riff)

  

  3rd Verse:(don't play anything, just feedback)

  Another inane confession so bad it makes me cry

  So hard to come apart

  That this thing is mummified

  Here now it's torn up easy a hard and fast regime

  I see them smiling, 

  smiling on amphetamines

  

  (chorus)
