Tabs for song: Idiots Are Taking Over 1


Hey.
Besides the regular notes (/ = slide up, x = palm mute), there's a few more
extra special notes this time around.
1) This song is FAST. Really, really fast.
2) The ska part works just as well with downstrokes as upstrokes, but upstrokes
are more ska-ish, plus they give you a warm fuzzy feeling that you're playing
the song just right.
3) Some of these chords may look funny or be in weird places, but that's just
how the song goes.
4) This is a very disorganized tab/chord sheet. I tried to make it clear, but it
just didn't take. Sorry.
5) Any correction would be appreciated, that applies to the whole
song. Thanks.
6) Want it to sound closer? Throw in a pick scrape and a scream at the end of
any of the verses except for the ones leading into the ska part or the outro.
7) The Rhythm section below is for the verse only. The ska part is a different,
more rhythmic sort of..... rhythm.
8) Sorry for the messiness.

Cheers!

The Industrial Revolution

Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

F#5(8va) D5
Darwin's rollin over in his coffin

The fittest are surviving much less often
D5 B5 R1
Now everything seems to be the first thing, and it's worsening

F#5(8va) D5
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
A5 D#aug D5
Now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
B5 A5
And I'm startin to feel a lot like Charlton Heston

Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground

Were generals and the armies that obeyed them

How to get ahead religions

And prosperity via simpleton culture

A5 F#5(8va)
The idiots are takin' over
