Fingertips have memories
I can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run em up the flagpole and see
Who salutes, but no one ever does

Verse 3:
Been around the world
And found that only stupid people are breeding
The cretons cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV
Verse 4:
Put me in the hospital for nerves
And they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs
Now I'm an amputee, God damn you
Chorus
Chorus
(in this chorus, the last two lines are: And it's a sin, to live so well)
Bridge:
(guitar part is same as the chorus, I think)
I wanna publish 'zines
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
It doesn't hurt it feels fine
I like to turn off time
Kill my mind
Kill my mind
Mind..............................
Verse 5: (guitar is same as chorus)
Paranoia, paranoia
Everybody's comin to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm runnin under the ground with the moles
Diggin holes
Verse 6: (guitar same as chorus)
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God
It sounds like they're snoring
But if you're bored then you're boring
The agony and the irony
They're killing me
Whoa
Chorus
Chorus (last two lines different)
