[Verse 1]
F#              E
   My veins are blue and connected
    F#                      E
And every single bone in my brain is electric
F#                            E
   But I dig ditches like the best of 'em
   F#            E                F#   E   F#  E
Yo trabajo duro, como en madera y yeso
                 F#   E   F#  E
Como en madera y yeso
 
 
[Verse 2]
         F#              E
And even God herself has fewer plans than me
        F#                         E
But she never helps me out when my scans for free though
F#                                E
   She grabs a stick and then she pokes it at me
     F#            E
When I say nothing, I say everything
A
   Yeah when I say nothing
Ab
   I say everything
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#                  E
   They put me down in a lazaretto
F#             E
   Born rotten, bored rotten
F#                  E
   Making models of people I used to know
F#               E
   Out of coffee and cotton
 
    F#                     E
And all of my illegitimate kids have begotten
       F#                 E
Thrown down to the wolves, made feral for nothing
F#             E
   Quarantined on the Isle of Man
        F#               E
And I'm trying to escape any way that I can, oh
A
   Any way that I can, oh
Ab
   I don't
 
 
[Verse 4]
F#           E
   I have no time left, time is lost
F#                E
   No time at all, throw it in a garbage can
F#                   E
   And I shake God's hand, I jump off
    F#                      E
And let her know when I can, this is how I'm gonna do it

F#            E                 F#
   They wanna blow down the prison
                 E              F#              E   F#  E
They're lighting fires with the cash of the masses
F#              E                   F#
   And like the dough, I don't fall down
         E               F#              E    F#  E  F#
I'm so Detroit I make it rise from the ashes
