Verse
 
F 
Long as I have my plans 
 
I don't give a damn 
 
About muddy waters 
 
Long as I have my rice 
 
And it's tasting nice 
 
I'm gonna love your daughters 
Bb 
Long as I'm sitting well 
 
And not raisin' hell 
 
I won't be a martyr 
F 
Long as I never read 
 
About others' needs 
 
I won't have to suffer 
 
Chorus
C 
In the twilight of my mind I know I'm doing something wrong 
 
The green and black elevator's bringing me down 
 
To the basement on the 13th floor 
 
Verse
F 
Long as I have my plans 
 
I don't give a damn 
 
About revolution 
 
Long as I have my rice 
 
I don't have to think twice 
 
About a solution 
Bb 
Long as I'm sitting well 
 
And not raisin' hell 
 
I can't cause confusion 
F 
Long as I'm writing checks 
 
And going easy on s*x 
 
I'm not a protrusion 
 
Chorus
C 
In the twilight of my mind I know I'm doing something wrong 
 
The green and black elevator's bringing me down 
 
To the basement on the 13th floor 
 
Verse
F 
Long as I have my plans 
 
I don't give a damn 
 
About my direction 
 
Long as I have my soup 
 
I don't give a hoot 
 
About insurrection 
Bb 
Long as I'm sitting well 
 
In my padded cell 
 
I got good protection 
F 
Long as I never read 
 
About others' needs 
 
I don't have to vote in the election 
 
Chorus
C 
In the twilight of my mind I know I'm doing something wrong 
 
The green and black elevator's bringing me down 
 
To the basement on the 13th floor
