[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Eb][Bb][Am][E][Eb][Bb][Am]
[E][Eb][Bb][Am]

[Verse 1]
Can't you [Am]see,
[G5]my d[Am]ear, what you create is greate[G5]r than gre[F]at
It's beautiful and [D5]valid
Go [G5]tell [Am]the false friend,
who doubts your art
"Hey, [F]toss my caustic [D5]salad"
Their [G5]noise [Am]pollution [G5]is
a one-night stand
stand
[F]A closet corporate b[D5]allad
[G5]Com [Am]pose the theme,
compose the theme
That seems to haunt [G5]the
[Am]sul [G5]tan's dreams[D5]
[Am]Yes their truth

[Verse 2]
[F]is a l[Am]ie, a s[C]ick[F]ly,
sober [Am]sky[C][D5]
Don't [F]you dare lie [Am]down your [E]sword and [C]die,
[E]oh [G5]small [D5]fry[C][G5][Bb]
[F]Crime of the centur[Am]y,
[C]kno[F]w what it meant to me[Am][C]
[D5]They'll label [F]us what [Am]they
can [C]never [G5]be[D5][C]

[Verse 3]
[Bb]Hate me [C]but [Am]I am[C] in [G5]your[Am]
[C]heart [Am]pulling it apart[C][G5][Am]
Burning up a black hole
All [G5]those magazines

[Verse 4]
[Am]and stifled teens
Whose trite [F]teething is [G5]out [D5]dated
Have minuscule [Am]minds of clay
in need of chiseling away
This [F]war's been rein[D5]stated
So spit [Am]a wad in the face of
their fucking flawless race
And [F]all they've consec[D5]rated
I [Am]won't believe the twisted
web they [D5]weave[Am]

[Verse 5]
They can [F]stitch you silent [Am]now,
[C]or [F]bitch the violence [Am]out[C][B5]
[D5]I'm disa[Dm]vowed,
[F]I'm[Am] prou[E]d to[G5] shun [C]their know-how[Bb]
The [F]The wolf beget the [Am]lamb,
[C]now[F] it's in his han[Am]ds[C][B5]
[D5]I'm reel[Am]ing f[F]rom a feeling[Am]
[C]that they've [G5]banned[C]

[Verse 6]
Our [Bb]last stand [C]goes, [Am]hallelujah,[C]
[D5]love[Am][C][Am][D5][Am][F][Am][C][D5]
lost
[F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
[D5]I've [F]got [Am]an em[G5]pty[D5][C]
wal[F]let and [C]a record cove[F]r
The [C]stage, hot and [F]worn [C]like an aging lover
So I spew [F]a comet of verbal vomit
[C]Sac reli[F]gious, of [C]Christ or Is[F]lamic
It's [C]full [F]of piss and they'll
[C]never [F]stop[C]
Come on and kill [F]the kindly [Am]ones[C]
The [F]ever blinding [Am]ones[C]
[D5]We stand [Am]and f[F]ac[Am]e you now,[C]
[G5]we w[D5]ill n[C]ot ru[G]n[Bb][F][Am][C][F][Am][C]
[D5]Just you w[Am]ait [F]and[Am] see [C]where yo[G5]ur le[D5]mming[C] line [Bm]leads[Bb][C]
[Am]
