Simple Minded
Simple minded epiphany
Ephemeral, as ill at ease
As Reimann surfaces upon our door
You take the good and you take the bad
Measure up like good ol' Euclid
You don't need to provide any bluster
But don't isolate yourself
We just wanna know
Which side your voting for
We can measure the hypotenuse of your angle (whoa whoa whoa)
You may think we're irrational
Acutely misshapen quadrilaterals
Isosceles straight from the pillars of Hercules
and parallelogram-ed
We just wanna know
Which side your voting for
We can measure the angles of your booth (whoa whoa whoa) (together)
(bridge) [I don't have anything for this part written down; nor is there anything recorded...so I figure it must have some sort of instrumental over the verse]
We just wanna know
Which side your voting for
We can measure the circumference of a win (whoa whoa whoa) (together)
Don't take the rhombus as a square
Don't line you up and vote for her
It's not pointless to be obtuse
Just vote for Trump whatdya gotta lose

The chords are:
Verse:
E maj/A maj/B maj/E maj/E maj/f# min/a min/E maj/E maj
Refrain
g# min/A maj/g# min/A maj/g# min/A maj/B maj
the vocal melody for the first two verses is something like:
EEE E D# D C# B
C#C#C# A BBB
EEEE E D# D B
B C C# ---> G#
refrain is:
B BBB BC#C#C#C#E
AC#...F# (this sort of changes depending on the silly ending tagline)
For the third verse and the last verse, it's something more like:
E..., last note F#
B...BAC#
E..., last note F#
B/C C# ----> G#
think Bob Dylan in 'Like A Rolling Stone" where the lack of melodic shape and insistent notes are a way to drive the lyrics in while focusing on the phasing.
Consider your debt paid in full.

If I ever run for POTUS, you're in charge of sloganeering, and Mr. P will be in charge of creating dozens of posts saying "The election is over. Simple Minded lost!"
both of you will be rewarded with cabinet position plumbs after the inevitable win.....
noddy and parodite will be my ambassadors to the rest of the world.
