F# B
Well, if King Kong is still on
G#m C#
The big screen down on Main Street
F# B G#m
Throw on a coat, we'll have a smoke on the porch
C# G#m
Something with a filter please
B F#
These lungs have plans
F# B G#m
We'll talk science, spherical construction on a cellular level
C# G#m
The scientific world agrees
B
In the medical possibilities
F# G#m
So maybe one day we will find a way we could
B C#
Dig the cancer out that we've been dragging in
F# G#m B
But King Kong is ta-king on a slew of mutant creatures,
C#
And that's what's got my head right now
F# B G#m C# x2
F# B
Let's talk values, the power of structures
G#m C#
The force of fear that keeps us right here
F# B
They got us running in circles, coercion surrounds us
G#m C#
The pigs don't see, it's just forty ounces
G#m B
And you know,
F#
Action's in the game plan
F#
But if revolution starts now
B
It's time to sit out
G#m C#
I'll join tomorrow, but tonight there's a show
G#m
On the big screen,
B C#
Down on Main Street
F# G#m
So maybe one day we will find a way we could
B C#
Bring the system down to its oh-so-deserving knees
F# G#m B
But King Kong is ta-king on a slew of mutant creatures
C#
On an island named after a skull
(outro riff) F#
