Set It Off (ver4) Tab - Audioslave






    ______________
   / Audioslave  /  I think this song is about getting on with something that is stuck.
  / Set It Off  /  Cornell probably wrote it with the feeling of being trapped in a
 / Audioslave  /  situation, and then was just aching to move on. This could be a
/_____________/  society or a relationship being stuck; it's about aching to move on.

  He was standing at the rock
  Gathering the flock
  And getting there with no directions
  And underneath the arch
  It turned into a march
  And there he found the spark to set this f****r off

  Set it off, set it off now children
  Set it right
  Set it off, set it off now children
  Set a fire

  Suddenly a shot
  Ripped into his heart
  He lay in need of some attention
  And there he played his card
  Going into shock
  The last thing that he said was set this f****r off

  Jesus at the back door
  Everything is all right
  All we need is some direction
  Every time the wind blows
  Everything you don't know
  Turns into a revelation
  And it all ends up inside your head
  Time is wasting
