F#             E
My veins are blue and connected
    F#                        E
And every single bone in my brain is electric
F#                          E
But I dig ditches like the best of 'em
    F#            E                F#  E F# E
Yo trabajo duro, como en madera y yeso
                  F#  E F# E
Como en madera y yeso

         F#               E
And even God herself has fewer plans than me
         F#                          E
But she never helps me out when my scans for
free though
F#                              E
She grabs a stick and then she pokes it at me
     F#             E
When I say nothing, I say everything

A
Yeah when I say nothing
G#
I say everything

They threw me down in a lazaretto
Born rottin', bored rotten
Makin' models of people I used to know
Out of coffee and cotton

And all my illegitimate kids have begotten
Thrown down to the wolves, made feral for nothin'
Quarantined on the Isle of Man
And I'm trying to escape any way that I can, oh

Any way that I can, oh

Damn, I have no time left, time is lost
No time at all, throw it in a garbage can
And I shake God's hand
I jump up and let Her know when I can
This is how I'm gonna do it

They wanna burn down the prison
They're lighting fires with the cash of the masses
And like the dough, I don't fall down
I'm so Detroit, I make it rise from the ashes

Yeah, that's it
