A Dm ( Dm - A# ) F ( F - C ) Dm Dm A# F C

           Dm                      A#
You took a time bomb and a case of crackers
               C            ( C - A )     Dm    ( Dm - A# ) F  ( F - C )
And you made a maelstrom of organic debris,
                Dm                      A#
then you took a work bench, and a rusty anvil,
        C                 ( C - A )       Dm    ( Dm - A# ) F  ( F - C )
and you polished them for everyone to see,


         Dm                   A#
you have created an unhealthy monster,
           C           ( F - G )         A        A
but you're nowhere but nowhere to be found,
     Dm                              A#
so I guess I'll just cope with my provisions,
     C             ( C - A )           Dm      ( Dm - A# )
From now until the day they lay me down


F ( F - C ) Dm Dm A# F C C


           Dm                  A#
You took a baboon and made him perfect
           C            ( C - A )           Dm    ( Dm - A# ) F  ( F - C )
You took a lion and stripped him of his pride
                Dm                       A#
Then you took a million more varieties a scalpel and a sartory
        C             ( C - A )       Dm    ( Dm - A# ) F  ( F - C )
And you stitched up a horrible surprise


            Dm               A#
You have created an unsocial monster
           C           ( F - G )         A        A
And you're searched for all over the globe
    Dm                                     A#
And most believe that things would sure be better
         C                  C                Dm    Dm     
If you'd come down here and tell us what you know


C                         Dm
Who is to blame for this? Someone tell me please
    C                            Dm
His handiwork is flawed and it's there for all to see
  C                           Dm
Mutations, aberrations and blatant anomalies


     A#           A#           C      ( C - A )
They multiply and give rise to this...monstrosity,


Solo
Dm Dm A# A# C C Dm Dm
Dm Dm A# A# C C A A

             Dm                             A#
You took the most abundant smallest bits of matter
           C                      Dm
And you instilled them with affinity
             Dm                       A#
And then you stratified accumulations Weeded out bad variations
    C                          Dm
And blended up your unique recipe


            Dm              A#
You have created a powerful monster
       C           ( F - G )           A        A
With direction and purpose all its own
       Dm                                A#
And if you were here would things be any different?
           C          ( C - A )           Dm      ( Dm - A# )
Or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone?


F ( F - C ) Dm Dm A# F C C
