I tabbed the song a step higher to use open chords.. This part is not 
accurate cause he clearly plays open strings in a different tuning (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)
These are the best ideas I came up with..

"I know.."

don't move, stay right where you are
talking can only give you away
and there's so nothing to say

the voices say hello
imprisoned, they're invisible
but we look a lot alike, we look a lot alike

this is boring, all we talk about is you
come on give me a reason
a boy and his machine gun

when you're finished stuggling
are you free tonight?
did they stick you in here
cause you weren't working right?

don't move stay just like you are
you look sane motionless like that
so very flat

it's amazing what velocity can do
when human beings are in season
a boy and his machine gun
if you're quiet we might see some

when you're finished stuggling
are you free tonight?
did they stick you in here cause you weren't working right?
there's a TV in every room
and it's free even pay-per-view
which you'll need if no one's going to visit you
animal, fucking animal

i know who you're waiting for
no one's coming though
no one's coming though..
so fuck you and your principles
and fuck whatever made me
perhaps you think i'm evil
it doesn't matter if we're crazy
