 Heya Tom, it’s Bob..  from the office  down the hall
 Good to see you buddy,  how’ve you been?
 Things have been OK for me  except that I’m a  zombie now
 I really wish you’d let us in
 I think  I speak for all  of us when I say  I understand
 Why  you folks might hesitate  to submit  to our demand
 But here’s  an FYI: you’re  all gonna die.. screaming
All  we want  to do is eat  your brains
   (F/ )
 We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no-one’s gonna eat your eyes
All  we want  to do is eat  your brains
   (F/ )
 We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
 If you open up  the doors
We’ll  all come  inside  and eat  your brains
 I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
 To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
 Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
 And then you’ll have to make the call
 I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
 You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
 But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you.. slowly
We’ll  all come  inside  and eat  your brains
 I’d like to help  you Tom, in any  way I can
 I sure appreciate  the way you’re working with  me
 I’m not a monster  Tom, well, technically  I am
 I guess I am
 I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
 I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
 Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
 I guess we’ll table this for now
 I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
 Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
 And we’ll put this thing to bed
 When I bash your head.. open

I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you.. slowly

[verse, chords as above]

I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head.. open

[repeat first chorus]
