Hi, I'm Fred
Hi, my name'€™s Mike and if you're sitting there watching this tape smoking your cigarette,
well, hit the fast
forward button because I don't smoke and I don’t like people who do smoke
I'm not afraid to get sand on my tuxedo
if you're not afraid to let the wind mess your hair up a little bit
when I take the top down
Perhaps even a, a nice bath with some champagne

The Tao can't be sung
 
I long to know what is the beyond me
N.C.
I try to change what I should not change
 
Realistically optimistic
 
I'm a philosopher, not a mystic
N.C.
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
 
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
 
I see lucifer, makes a good living
N.C.
A philosophy so limiting
 
 
[Pre-Chorus ]
 
Same tab that verse
N.C.
Everyone got decisions to make
 
Oh, yeah, baby, got bills to pay
N.C.
The truth lies beyond what you see
 
I'm not mad at you
 
 
[Chorus]
Fm            A#
When I get my turn
              D#
When I get my turn
              G#  Gm
Staying on my toes
             Fm
Oh they will see
                      A#
Forget everything you heard

Forget everything you heard
                     G#         Gm     Fm
You don't know who'€™s feeding it to you
              A#
When I was sixteen
              D#
When I was sixteen
         G#   Gm
Nobody believed
             Fm
"Music's for you"
                A#
When my turn it comes
                D#
When my turn it comes

I will tear the system apart
 
 
[Bridge]

Now we build statues of robots
                          Gm
Humanity is already a memory
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
N.C.
Nothing's black or white, it's all grey
N.C.
Honesty without tack is cruelty
N.C.
Nothing turns me on like what you say
N.C.
Bending towards pending demise
 
 
[Chorus]
Fm            A#
When I get my turn
              D#
When I get my turn

Forget everything you heard

You don't know who'€™s feeding it to you
              A#
When I was sixteen
              D#
When I was sixteen
         G#   Gm
Nobody believed
             Fm
"Music's for you"
                   A#
It's harder than I thought
                    D#
But when my time it comes
             G#  Gm
Will I be prepared
 
I guess we'll see

9 zillion lane highway

Was not part of the deal
 
Gm            Fm
When I get my way
          A#    D#
Nothing is ever
        G# Gm   Fm
Deleted anymore
         A#
The mind wants to play
D#            G#       Gm      Fm
Free from the assembly line of thought
