Em dm7

I'm not selling molasses I'm not pushing tea

Em dm7

I don't appeal to the masses and they don't appeal to me

Em dm7

I'm not peddling fiction I'm not packaging youth

Em dm7

I've got a predilection for the truth



Bridge #1

Am dm

I can't stand it any longer I can't suffer any more fools

Am dm

I'm gonna keep on sharpening axes till I've got the sharpest tools

C gm

I can't access information comin' down the mainframe

Those puerile incantations in couplets or quatrains



Watch it all run amok now watch those idiots score

Till you can't remember that they're idiots any more

Watch that stain increasing spreading out across the earth

Till you can't remember what anything is worth



Bridge #2

I can't stand it any longer I can't listen to any more words

I'm gonna keep on sharpening axes till they cut right through this dirt

I can't access information comin down the satellite beam

All I hear is psycho babble and I don't know what it means
