MEGALOMANIAC
by KMFDM

the leadoff track from the new record, "explosionskullbombspiralfist" :)
this is a cool song. yup.

Verse riff:
e----------
B----------
G----------
D-4-4--5-5-
A-4-4--5-5-
E-2-2--3-3-

there's also an electronic bassline which is basically the same;
e---------------
B---------------
G---------------
D---------------
A---------------
E-2-x-x-x-2-3-2-

then there's the chorus riff:
e----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------11-12----------11-14----------11-12-------------------
A--7h9-7h9--9-10--7h9-7h9--9-12--7h9-7h9--9-10--7h9-7h9-5h7-3h5--

Then, at 3:30, there's another part (an interlude, I suppose)
e----------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------
D-11--9/12-12-10--7-6--11--9/12-12-9-11--
A--9--7/10-10--9--5-4---9--7/10-10-7--9--
E----------------------------------------

which ends, at about 4:00, with
e--------------
B--------------
G--------------
D--------------
A--------------
E--2-7-7-9-----

the lyrics are:

Die Wunder Dieser Welt Werden Dir Geschenkt
Gluck Ist Nicht Kauflich Sehnsucht Bleibt Unerreicht
Preisratsel Winken Nimmersatt
Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheit

Nihilistic Mystics
Apostolic Alcoholics
Messianic Manics
Cataclysmis and Prolific

In The Age Of Super-Boredom
Hype and Mediocrity
Celebrate Relentlessness
Menace To Society

Refuse Is Our Inspiration
Terrorism Our Trade
Sabotage and Piracy
Chaos Our Mental State

Mesmerizing Festering
Intended For The Faint Of Heart
Cultish And Anthemic
Until Death Us Do Part

Like a Fiendish Tropic Virus
Spitting Bile On All You Whores
Razor-Sharp Tongue In Cheek
Poking At Your Open Sores

A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
The Ultimate Disgrace
Wrapped Up As A Gift Of God
Exploding In Yr. Face

Wenn Der Untergrund Bebt Ist Die Ordnung Erschuttert
Der Verrat An Der Seele Macht Leben Ungesund
Mit Unschlagbaren Reimen Werden Wir Uns Vertreiben
Die Zeit Der Langen Weile Bis Zum Grossen Bums

CHORUS:
This is Counter Culture
>From The Underground
Eternal Revolution
This Is Our Sound
KMFDM- Better Than The Best
Megalomaniacal And Harder Than The Rest

-----------------------------------------
and that's pretty much the whole song... yay
i'd love some feedback or whatever...
