Verse/Chorus:
The Aking of the swingin' moods is bF#mack in town
and Eeverybody's tiptoeing arDound him
surround him as he
Apounds a silver hammer,
drops rF#mevolutionary grammar
conEcerning the burning of city hall
and Durban sprawl and decay
bidding A
Farewell to the F#mdays of having it both wEays
Hell is other people
Some Dpeople never learn
When Aoptimism fails
and my F#mcooler head prevails
I will Emeet you at the point of dimDinishing returns
(repeat Verse/Chorus rhythm figures)
Down in the abstract
looking for a concrete artifact
something to hold on to
not one more thing to believe in
Stuck in a fallback
and fighting off a heart attack
and you're so tangible
like a nitroglycerin tablet
under my tongue
bidding
Farewell to the days of having it both ways
The boom's a bust-out
but thanks for your concern
When pessimism fails
and my cooler head prevails
I will meet you at the point of diminishing returns

Pre-Chorus:
(with Intro/Bridge)
Progress shall be defined by
your position on the bridge as it burns
(repeat Verse/Chorus rhythm figure)
When populism, activism, urbanism fail
my cooler head will prevail
When there are no more gods left to anoint
no more noses to bend out of joint
I'm gonna meet you at the point of diminishing returns
Outro:
^A(2)
When optimism fails
^F#m(2)
and my cooler head prevails
^E(2) ^D(2)
I will meet you at the point of diminishing returns

After these few bars the outro plays through in reverse and then ends. There's
some more instrumentation here than I've tabbed out but that's the gist of it.
