Lyrics:
Whether to mind, partly blind changes wrong or right, do you qualify?
Not to dispraise what it is that I cannot change so am I to blame?
What's the excuse, could it make yours
the one to try are you justified?
Don't even ask the argument is already stained should it be exchanged?
Gimme a reason, what's in your brain?

the Joel comes in and solos for 2x's, then they do the same thing but Bayliss comes in and
jams til the end.)

This is one of my fav. Umph songs so I tried to tab out a good bit of it. im sure its
not 100%
accurate, but hey, I tried. I also decided to just give u some scales instead of
the solo.
Thanks. JBAUT
