After the 'worms will eat...' part. NB: this is very sketchy- I'm not
sure how to show the 13-14-12 bit. There's some major bending, so you can
mess around w/ that

As for the part under the lyrics which go:
'so unplug your phone
stop all the chatter
it all comes flooding back
from poisoned clouds
to poison the world '
...I'm still working on it.
