(A5) I'll tell you right now they got nothin' to lose G5 F5 A5 They're building EMPID . Then this little lead bit: B-|--8b10-(10)-(10)--| (sustained indefinitely) While the rhythm (once again) stays on A5. Do the whole verse bit over again for the second verse. Here's the pre-chorus with some lyrics below to help you keep up (repeat the first section twice, then do the last bit right before the chorus): E-|--------------------------------------------------------------||-------| B-|-6---6-6-3--3-3--8--8-8-6--6-6--6--6-6-3--3-3-----------------||-------| G-|-5---5-5-2--2-2--7--7-7-5--5-5--5--5-5-2--2-2---5--5-5-5--5-5-||-------| D-|-0---0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0---5--5-5-5--5-5-||-3/5-5-| A-|------------------------------------------------3--3-3-3--3-3-||-3/5-5-| E-|--------------------------------------------------------------||-1/3-3-| East side_________ Meets West side___ downtown_____.

Then there's the solo and the chorus a few times until the end. There's also a bit of lead stuff (guitar harmonization between Chris and Michael) over the last couple of choruses; really nifty lead work...but I'm not going to tab it! The lyrics to the second verse are: "Black man trapped again, Holds his chains in his hand. Brother killing brother for the profit of another. Game point...nobody wins. Decline right on time. What happened to the dream sublime? Tear it down we'll put it up again. Another EMPID !" The following are the "lyrics" to the commentary: "In fiscal year 1986 to 87, local, state, and federal governments spent a combined total of 60.6 billion dollars on law enforcement. Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars and accounted for only a sixth percent of all federal spending. By way of comparison, the federal government spent 24 million more on space exploration and 43 TIMES more on national defense and international relations than on law enforcement."
