Standard (EADGBE)

There's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank

 he's the one

 he says you don't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure

slide show tanked

 and your flagship sank

 so we're taking all our myths to the bank

 so just don't, Don’t forget who to thank

 we're taking our myths to the

 we’re drinking a fifth to the

 we're taking all our myths to the bank Oh no

Riff/solo

If you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor

 join his entourage give him a foot massage

 from Star Search to the Philharmonic he'll get you there with Hooked on Phonics

 he's the one to know

 doesn't matter if you blow – no no, no no

 in fact it's just the thing

 he thinks we're needing

 it's a lukewarm liquid diet

 they're force feeding

 when the words we use have lost their bite

 now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight

 but it's all right

 cause you're inside and you're in tight

(Fingerpick this part)

deals in commodities of the abstract sort

buys them in bulk but sells them short

talent, genius, love even signs of affection

he floods the market there's no price protection

 and when his master plan is unfurled

 There stands a handsome bid on the weather systems of the world
