Additional Information

The guitars for this song were recorded in G tuning, with a tempo of 192.

Lyrics

Regarding lyrics: I've no idea if the word is unabomb, uniform or something completely different. Correction DEFINITELY needed!

Tell me everything you think I need to know
Gonna try, gonna try
Gonna get it to go

Tell me something that will change my world
And when I feel sad/would not feel sad(?)
I don’t think so

So I’m sitting at the local dump
Bought a drink to shut you up
You were saying how you been reborn

Hey now, everybody do the uniform  (x5)

Teach respect for what they say
Run them down when they get in the way
I’d give it up
I’d heed the call
If it didn’t seem so criminal
Lose your body, mind, and soul
To an ancient ritual
When our luck(?) is lost and gone

Hey now, maybe we can do the uniform
Hey now, everybody do the uniform  (x5)

And even if the tough guy’s telling the truth
That’s too bad
Mean, do you really want the dark side speaking for you?
That’s so sad

Now change colour

Tell me everything you think I need to know
Go die, go die, go die
Make 'em terminate original 
And convince yourself it’s right
Give your body, mind and soul
An outdated ritual
And once you know whose side you’re on

Hey now, everybody do the uniform  (x5)

And even if the tough guy’s telling the truth
That’s too bad
Mean, do you really want the dark side speaking for you?
That’s so sad

It’s your moment
But you hang by your fingers stripped to the bone
Been broken
So get back in your place and
Lay down your arm

And even if the tough guy’s telling the truth
That’s too bad
Mean, do you really want the dark side speaking for you?
That’s so sad

Hey now, everybody do the uniform  (x8)

Now change colour

Teach respect for what they say
Run them down when they get in the way (change colour)
I’d give it up
I’d heed the call
If it didn’t seem so criminal
Lose your body, mind, and soul
To an ancient ritual (change colour)
When our luck(?) is lost and gone

Hey now, maybe we can do the uniform

It’s your moment
But you hang by your fingers stripped to the bone
Been broken
So get back in your place and
Lay down your arms

It’s so sad
You can tell by the splinters that enter your heart
You’ve spoken
Only that’s an opinion
And ...(?) of command

Hey now, everybody do the uniform (now change colour)   (x3)
Hey now, everybody do the uniform
