Lyrics:
Whether to mind, partly blind changes wrong or right, do you qualify?
Not to dispraise what it is that I cannot change so am I to blame?
What's the excuse, could it make yours
the one to try are you justified?
Don't even ask the argument is already stained should it be exchanged?
Gimme a reason, what's in your brain?

the Joel comes in and solos for 2x's, then they do the same thing but Bayliss comes in and

This is one of my fav. Umph songs so I tried to tab out a good bit of it. im sure its
not 100%
accurate, but hey, I tried. I also decided to just give u some scales instead of
the solo.
Thanks. JBAUT
