If you could say something without sedating me
A          B          E            G#       A
The air in your small world is not clear to breathe

[Chorus]

Laymen's terms
E    B  A     B
King of fools

Illiterate you'd rather be in   this back seat playing to the gallery and
A             B               G#       C#    B      A       B
They remember all their lines they all remember the dirt

E7    G#    F#       A
I'm through humoring you

I am learning to hate you it's true
E7    G#    F#       A    E7       G#           A
I'm through humoring you, I've been drinking and sleeping

[Bridge]
A       B             G#
Identified we speak untruths
                C#          B
Because there's strength in numbers
A           B                 G#
Forced to relate in a world depraved
     C#   B
Identify alone we

Speak in tongues give me Laymen's terms
A          B          E7           G#
The air in this small world is not clear but
A          B            G#          C#  B      A         B

I'm through humoring you, I've been living and dying
   C#       B       A
My enemies' holiday inn

[Chorus]
E  B     A
Laymen's terms
