        A5                F5
I'm the man of a thousand faces,
         G5              A5               A5 F5 G5 A5
a little piece of me in every part I take.


           A5                  F5
I hold the tape for a thousand races,
            G5                 A5             A5 F5 G5 A5
a different point of view  in every speech I make.


A5                F5          G5          A5
Cut me a piece of my devided soul.
A5             F5               G5        A5
Cry me a river, call it rock'n roll.


A5             F5                 G5       A5
Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie.
A5             F5                G5
Pass me a microphone, I need to testify.


       C5                          F5
Will I speak to machines with the voice of humanity,
C5                          F5
speak to the wise with the voice of insanity,
C5                                               F5
speak to the present in the past and the future tense,
     G5
I'll speak to a slave with the voice of obedience.

...


A5                              D5
I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon.
A5                                D5
I took a leap and I landed on the moon.
F5                                 G5
Look at my life and it looks like CNN.
F5                              G5
See something once y'know it's gonna come around again.

...


A5     D5     F5     A5

A5
I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon.

I took a leap and I landed on the moon.
