[Verse 1]
B G#m E F#
Warm front, we had a ball

It's a critical equation
G#m F#
It's the mother of the moon
E B

G#m F#
G# little doom and gloom
[Verse 2]

In the eye and in the mud
B G#m E F#
Getting drunk on alcohol
D#m E F#
Get ready for the flood
[Chorus]

G#m F#
I'm getting out of line
E B
It's a critical equation

And they're calling for a mixture
G#m F#
G# little doom and gloom
[Outro]

But it's a sensitive subject
G#m F#
For a criminal mind
E B
So I'm taking my number
G#m F#
I'm getting out of line
E B
It's a critical equation
