I don't know much of this song except that it is hard to figure out.
Pentatonic scales in this song are great though.

Chorus: (I dont feel like feelin')

|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|
|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|
|--12---15p12-15p12--|--12---15p12-15p12--|
For the break just play the intro part once and conclude it with some
scaling like below...
Here's some scaling:
|----------------5-7-5-|---------------------------------------|
|--7-5-------5-7-------|--7-5---5-7-----------5-7--------------|
|------7-5-7-----------|------7-----7-5-----7-----7--5~~~------|
|----------------------|----------------7-5--------------------|
|----------------------|---------------------------------------|

Of course it's mostly adlib....I can't figure the whole thing out. I could
do it but it would take a while.
Face pollution! part: 5/4 time

|-------------0--10-12-10--|-------------0--10-12-10--|

|-12\-12\-12\-0--10-12-10--|-12\-12\-12\-0--10-12-10--|
I'm not sure about the first 3 notes but it sounds good.
End it by playing the verse riff 4 1/2 times and sliding down from 12th fret.
FACE POLLUTION
I can count it on my fingers
I've got all my reasons not to feel
I'm numb as rigor mortis
Scared by monkey faces
Drowned in shark fins
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Now I'm in the mirror
Now it's getting clear
I fear that I'm in you
Now I'm into plastics
Now I've made a mask
It looks like fish heads
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
