"I poisoned ur's aswell"
When they scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" resume main riff
And at some point it plays a slightly slower part different
to the one below, it's just the chords from the main riff
slower, the strumming pattern's not hard to work out.
Then when he says "people inside me, you’re askin' me 2 blow up city hall..."
