Sabotage is a song by Beastie Boys featured in the first Rock Band game. The song features full band rock instrumentation, turntables, and a heavily distorted bass. It is perhaps best known for its music video, which is both a homage and parody of 1970s crime drama shows. The song is in the 3rd tier for the Guitar and Bass, the 4th tier for the Vocals, and the 5th tier for the Drums.

Tips[]

The guitar part is not very hard, just watch out for the big gap, so you don't waste your Overdrive.

Lyrics[]

I can't stand it I know you planned it

I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate

I can't stand rocking when I'm in here

'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear

So, while you sit back and wonder why

I got this fucking thorn in my side

Oh my God, it's a mirage

I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage

So, So, So

So listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'

You'll shut me down with a push of your button

But yo, I'm out, and I'm gone

I'll tell you now I keep it on and on

'Cause what you see you might not get

And we can bet so don't you get souped yet

Scheming on a thing that's a mirage

I'm trying to tell you now it's sabotage

Why?

Our backs are now against the wall

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

I can't stand it, I know you planned it

I'm gonna set it straight this Watergate

But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place

Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face

But make no mistakes and switch up my channel

I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle

What could it be, it's a mirage

You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage
