LYRICS:
VERSE: You know I cpuldn't be me, if it wasn't for you
I feel like shit and look like plastic, but I'll get through.
You know it's plain to see what's going to do
As long as it don't get too drastic, then we can't lose
CHORUS: Don't blame the middleman, come to me
I'll tell you what I can, all you need
Cut out the middleman, wait and see yeah
VERSE: It was you that told me, the aliens had landed
And it was you that told me, the end had just begun
(CHORUS)
'NEXT BIT': But now we're in this thing together
You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside
You said you'd stay with me forever
Where are you now when I need you as my alibi?
You left me all alone, in my hour of need
I've tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me.
(CHORUS)
Come to me...all you need...wait and see yeah
(CHORUS)
This tab is for private use only. etc. And all that.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TERRORVISION tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
