Dm               A#                F 
All the creatures, on your beaches
                     Gm     C
Makin' waves in the motion pictures
Dm                 A#                F 
Won’t you keep this, in between us
                     Gm      C
Search and seizure, wake up venus

The dollar bill will, mentally ill bill
Mom and dad take your dont be sad pill
Turn the screw and, twist my language
Don't forsake me I'm contagious

Chorus:
Dm         A#             F    C
There's a reason for the 21st Century
Dm       A#          F               C       Dm A# F
Not too sure but I know that's it's meant to be
               C       Dm
And that it's meant to be

It's my favorite combination
Coming down with the favored nations
Deep rotation, mutilation
Learn to give and take dictation
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Like Cain and Abel
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Time to run this table

Chorus

Dm
Read me your scripture now
Gm
Read me your scripture
 F                         C        A#
Read me your scripture and I will twist it
Dm
Show me your wrist and I
Gm
Show me your wrist and
F
Show me your wrist and I
 C       A#
Kiss it kiss it

Oh, oh oh, oh oh
Like a Cain and Abel
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
It's time to run this table

Simple soldier hand it over
Stop and read what you just wrote her
Strangulation, altercation
Oral sex and bird migration
