(continue Figure 1 for next 5 lines of lyrics)
Flash flood in a paper cup, no chance to study up - oh man
What's the chad confetti stuff shooting out the TV
Is it Y2K or is it World War III?
The dogs of reason ran away, way into the fray
And whoa, the hell we have to pay
Have you heard?

(Note on guitar solo: This a fairly loose rendering of the solo. There
are two lead guitar lines playing simultaneously, and it's difficult
to distinguish what each one is playing since they cross over each
other. I've attempted to pick out and transcribe one guitar line,
but it's not exact. The last measure isn't transcribed.)
