  NOTE: I'm finding it hard to tab beyond >>>: it gets confusing trying to
	play it slow and write down the numbers but you have the idea.
	It's real hard to play at first (i.e. don't try it on an acoustic)
	but once you get the rhythm it's easy.  The best thing to do would
	be to play along with the song because it would be hard to do it 
	from tab alone without the rhythm.  After I figured this out, I 
	saw Tim play it in concert and instead of playing it like this:
	
	6:-0-0-7-0-10...... 
	(10th fret, 6th string)
	
	He played:
	5:---------5-
	6:-0-0-7-0---....
	(5th fret, 5th string)

	which is the same note, but I find it too hard to switch strings.

Lyrics/Song Structure:
---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Don't fear mere words cuz if it takes a word ruin ya
   You should have already hard you're finished through and soon ya
   See that stifling sentences is so much more suspicious
   Much worse could come of that so much more delicious
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   To the dastardly basturdly plans of little mice and men
   Ugly rears its head and speaks from now and then
   People love to disagree so avoid the endless bout make no attempt
   To try and suss the stupid out
   But of the racist institutions simple minds belong
   Not happy just being human, no wish to get along
   Little people need exclusions sucker groups to throng
   It makes them feel special it makes them feel strong
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   Now I got a click but it's more like a family
   Not an ethnic trip more like an ethic see
   I write the rhyme today tell it to you later
   Whether were coming in wack or what it's a waste to be a hater
   Graffiti bombs-from the palms-love is so strong
   Can't be stopped too long
   For the night it will come
   Shaped in the form of Mars that stone afar
   Ghetto cool Oh well
   Now you feel the spell
   The color rocks the bell
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   The king of swing rise to the top
   The rhythm possessed in ya and it don't stop
   The mise is broken The demon locin'
   Dropping the bomb and all that is left is the smokin'
---> Play Fill 1 over:
   Cloakin' chokin, the lyrics are spoken
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Infrared vision scopin' condition
   Now breakin' 'em all to pieces like a sly rap bandit
   With a fly Lu-Kang kick in Mortal Combat and I land it
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   So get your own back when I jam it cold and
   Hearing about you rhyme style been outmoded
   The dopest flow upon the planet
   Dope is the word the bro throw up on the down low goddammit
   You juice your ***ing friends like Dracula
   But when we kick you out you're just brokula
   You left a big surprise from Pacific Bell
   Called all your relatives and your friends in Hell
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   Now let me tell you something you ***ing piece of ***
   You'll never have no money, now tell me was it worth it?
   You leave a trail of lies that's why you keep moving
   We won't come after you we'd only end up provin
   In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
   I know that statement's true I wear it like a pendant
   I know you'll hear this song so I think it's funny
   The name is thief or trust and money
---> Play Riff 4 over:
   Like Captain Picard we come hard in light years
   Our star has long bust but now reappears
   In your sky at night rising and immense
   Yes you see ourselves in the shine of it
   And so passing under the dome of the great sky
   Beware we are the stars Holmes that you ruled by
   Where death reborn into the world is a gift
   So the future with no voice of its own will uplift
---> Play Final over:
   All is gone, all is calm y'all
   All is gone, all is calm y'all
   All is gone, all is calm y'all
   All is gone, all is calm y'all
 _/SA: All is gone, all is calm y'all
  \Nick: Set wrecked in L.A.
 _/SA: All is gone, all is calm y'all
  \Nick: In the Wetlands of New York
 _/SA: All is gone, all is calm y'all
  \Nick: Atlanta and Phoenix
 _/SA: All is gone, all is calm y'all
  \Nick:Portland, Lincoln and N.O.
