[Verse 1]
[Em][E5][Em][E5][Em][F5]
[Em]Don't try to resist
You're coming with us
Provisions are made
Accommodation[Cm]s hav[G5]e met

[Verse 2]
Your [G5]words are encoded
In the bleak genetics of the mob
[Em]Praise apocrypha,
omitted [F5]offense
[Em]To relieve us of guilt but
not of [G]our sin[G5]

[Verse 3]
We've sacrificed [G5]discourse
at the feet
Of your clever turn of phrase
Now you owe [Cm]it to [G5]us
We demand to be taken [Eb]aback[G5][Cm]

[Verse 4]
To [Eb]be shown [Cm]the revival
[Eb]of hope[G5]
[Cm]For which your word[Eb][G5]
[Cm]s are responsible
[Em]Oh,[Eb][G5][Cm]

[Verse 5]
it's the end
[Em]of the line[Eb][C#5][G5][Cm]
I'm [Eb]cornered [G5]by a prec[Cm]edent
The sneering [Eb]pub l[Cm]ic eye

[Verse 6]
My job here [Cm]is done
My job here is done
You're fucking wel[Em]come[G5][Em]

[Verse 7]
Retract the [Em]accolade the
candid [F5]acclaim
[Em]Inspiration is cutting its[Cm]
[G5]loss
Regurgitate headlines or a
theory on modern art
[F5]You've [Em]been fooled again,
the red herrings a [Eb]joke
[Cm]I've tried so

[Verse 8]
hard to tell [Em]you[Eb]
That [Cm]I've tapped the well [Em]dry[Cm]
But there's [Eb]no w[G5]ord

[Verse 9]
Stay [G5]wistful and young
The affected are banking on
[Cm]ob l[G5]i vi [Eb]on[G5][Cm]
In the [Eb]drone [G5]of[Cm]
embittered [Eb]hope[G5][Cm]
And [Eb]we're sold [G5]by the
way they wro[Cm]te it
[Em]Oh,[Eb][G5][Cm]

[Verse 10]
it's the end
[Eb]of the line[C#5][G5][Ab]
[Ab5]I'm co[Eb]rnered by[G5] a preced[Cm]ent
The sneering public eye

[Verse 11]
My job here [Cm]is done
My job here is done

[Verse 12]
It is better to destroy
Than to create what [Em]is meaningless
So the picture will not [D#]be finished
[G5]Get out of here
