Em			  dm7
I’m not selling molasses I’m not pushing tea
Em				    dm7
I don’t appeal to the masses and they don’t
appeal to me
Em				  dm7
I’m not peddling fiction   I’m not packaging
youth
Em 			    dm7
I’ve got a predilection for the truth

Bridge #1
Am 			 dm
I can’t stand it any longer I can’t suffer any
more fools
Am				 dm
I’m gonna keep on sharpening axes till I’ve got
the sharpest tools
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

Instrumental section, then
Bridge #1 (1st half)
Verse #2 (1st half)
Bridge #2 (2nd half)

Bm 	 a
