[Intro 1]
(Oh-ah, hey-ey)
(Oh-ah, hey-ey)
(Oh-ah, hey-ey)
(Hey-ey-ey...)
I'm living in that 21st century,
doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
[F]Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it
[Em]I guess every superhero

[Chorus 1]
need his theme music
[Am]No one man should have all that power
[C]The clock’s ticking, I just cou[G]nt the hours
[Dm]Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
[G](21st-century schizoid man)

[Verse 1]
[Am]The system broken, the school's closed,
the prison's open
[C]We ain't got nothing to lose,
[G]motherfucker, we roll[Dm]in'
Huh? Motherfucker, we roll[Am]in'
With some light-skinned girls
[E]and some Kelly Row[Am]lands
In this white man world,
we the ones cho[C]sen
So goodnight, cruel world,
I'll [G]see you in the morn[F]ing
Huh? I'll see you in the morn[E]ing

[Chorus 2]
This is way too much, I need a moment
[Am]No one man should have all that power
[C]The clock’s ticking, I just cou[G]nt the hours
[Dm]Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
[Am]'Til then, fuck that, the worl[E]d's ours
[Am]And they say, and they say
[C]And they say[G], and they say
[F]And they say, and they say
[G](21st-century schizoid man)

[Verse 2]
[Am]Fuck SNL and the whole cast
Tell them [C]Yeezy said
they can kiss my whole [G]ass
More spe[Dm]cifically, they can kiss my asshole
I'm an [Am]asshole?
You niggas got [E]jokes
[Am]You short-minded niggas'
thoughts is Napoleon
My [C]furs is Mongolian,
my ice [G]brought the goalies in
[Dm]I embody every characteristic
of the egotis[Am]tic
He knows he's so [E]fuckin' gifted
[Am]I just needed time alone
with my own thoughts
Got [C]treasures in my mind,
but couldn't open [G]up my own vault
[Dm]My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty[Am]
Is honestly being crowded
[E]by these grown thoughts
[Am]Reality is catching up with me
Taking my [C]inner child, I'm fighting for cus[G]tody
With these res[F]ponsibilities
that they entrusted me
As I look [E]down
at my diamond-encrusted piece

[Chorus 3]
Thinking [Am]no one man
should have all that power
[C]The clock’s ticking, I just cou[G]nt the hours
[Dm]Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
[Am]'Til then, fuck that, the worl[E]d's ours
[Am]And they say, and they say
[C]And they say[G], and they say
[F]And they say, and they say
[G](21st-century schizoid man)

[C]Lost in translation with a whole fuckin' nation
They say [Dm]I was the abomination
of Obama's nation
Well, that's a [Am]pretty bad way
to start the conver[E]sation
At the [Am]end of the day,
goddamnit, I'm killing this [Dm]shit
I know damn [Em]well y'all feelin' this [Am]shit
I don't need your [Dm]pussy, bitch,
I'm on my own dick

How Ye doing? I'm survivin'
