Within the alternative world, Seven Mary Three have often been compared to the mainstream-sounding, garage/arena rock of post-Ten Pearl Jam, but the group insists that their refusal to alienate themselves from the rest of the world makes them different. Instead, Seven Mary Three offer songs concerning self-discovery and true outsiders isolated from society. Based in Virginia (where the bandmates attended the College of William and Mary), Seven Mary Three signed to the Mammoth label after releasing a self-produced album, Churn, in 1994.

Intro: 0:00 - 0:08 ACGA ACG
Verse: 0:09 - 0:32 AC I get you ready for the breakdown GFACG I'm the feeling inside you that just wants to explode AC I never sugarcoat a shakedown GFACG So empty all your pockets of the things that you think you know
A You can bow to the prophet You can make him an offer A But you're gonna reap what you sow
AC I get you ready for the breakdown GF I'm the feeling inside you ACG You know you will never control
Chorus: 0:33 - 0:43
DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DCE Do you know what you're runnin' on?
Verse: 0:44 - 1:09
AC I know the sound that drags you downtown GFACG Drags you from your job and the hardwired boredom of house AC I see you changing from the neck down GF Do you walk it like you talk it? ACG Or say it just to hear it out loud? A You can drag it for miles
You can make it your style A Never do you much good in the ground
AC I get you ready for the breakdown GFA I'm the something inside you that makes CG You want to slither and howl
Chorus: 1:10 - 1:21
DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DCE Do you know what you're runnin' on?
Break: 1:22 - 1:51 A (stay on the A-chord for several bars)
One good love so don't let it breakdown Something in there that never should shutdown Your precious will Feed your precious will Guard your precious will Your precious will
Verse: 1:52 - 2:15
AC I get you ready for the breakdown GF The finest minds of my generation ACG All connected to the zeroes and ones AC By now you know this is a shakedown GF So empty all your pockets ACG Of the things you thought you had done
A I bowed to the prophet And I did it so often A He said, "man, you look good in my clothes.."
AC I get you ready for the breakdown GF I'm the feeling inside you ACG It just wants to explode
Chorus: 2:16 - end
DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DC Do you know what you're runnin' on? DCE Do you know what you're runnin' on? A Answer: Your Precious Will
