Dead Souls chords and lyrics - WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]Dead
Souls is sort of a film idea loosely
suggested by a sci -fi book.
This is, fact, the ultra -secret and super
-sensory function [B]of [Em]the atomic bomb.
A soul -killer to alleviate an
escalating soul -blood
Stacked up like cored wood and non -recyclable by
the old hellfire expedient like bugging plastics
Ruins of
Hiroshima on screen, pull back to show
Robert
Oppenheimer, I mean,
technician at a switchboard
and
Robert
Oppenheimer,
flanked by middle -aged [G]men
[Em]with a cold, dead look of heavy power
The technician twiddles his knobs
All clear, are you sure?
The instruments say so
Yes sir, he looks after them soundly
However, some tough young souls
A horribly maimed and very disgruntled
dude who survived
Hiroshima and come back to
endanger national security
So the scientists are put to [C]work
[Em]to devise a supercell killer
No job too dirty for a fuckin' scientist
So
Background music playing.
I'm
The [F]president, [Em]500 f[B]eet down in solid [Em]rock,
[G]app[Em]ears on televis[C]ion and gives [Em]the
American
people a finger.
I got mine.
Fuck you.
Every crumb for [G]himself.[Em]
I'm
Thank
