                        1
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
                        1
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
                        2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
 
And you know I will not apologize
 
Your mine for the taking
                        3
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
                        1
Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains
                        1
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
                        2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
 
And you know I will not apologize
 
Your mine for the taking
                        3
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
                        4
I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad
 
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road
                        1
And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep
                        1
I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
                        2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
 
And you know I will not apologize
 
Your mine for the taking
                        3
I'm making a career of evil.
                        5
I'm making a career of evil (repeat seven times)

i think in the first bit it goes up to an power chord (or some variant of) on 8th fret before playing the "riff" though that may just be the bass... \---------------------------------------------\ \--5--5-/8------------------------------------\ \--5--5-/8------------------------------------\ \--5--5-/8----------7--6------5-----------------\ \--7--7-/10---5--7--------7------7---5----------\ \--5--5-/8------------------------------8--5---\

The main riff is tabbed wrong

Just found my own comment from 7 years ago! This is how I've been playing it in the intervening time |--------------------------------------\ |--------------------------------------\ |--------------------------------------\ |--------5~---5/7-----7p6---5----------\ |--7~--7-3~---3/5---------7----7p5-----\ |--5~--5---------------------------8---\
