Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][Bm]
[D][F#m]
[Bm][Am][D]
[Am][Cm][Bbm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Love, baby
I want you [Am]to cry, baby
I want [D]you [Cm]to try, baby
I want you [Bbm]to die, maybe

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Faltering, I'm astray
Epidemic mundane
[Am]Qualified, justified
Pasteurized, so [Cm]inane
Mathematics prevail
Over hands held by nails
[Bbm]Crucified, rarified, petrified in the rain

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Faltering, I'm astray (love baby)
Epidemic mundane (I want [Am]you to cry,
baby)
Qualified, justified
Pasteurized, so inane
[Cm]Mathematics prevail
Over hands held by nails
[Bbm]Crucified, rarified, petrified in the rain

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Pop, pop imperialism
Forging un[Am]healthy alliances
[Cm]Savage transformation
Of the [Bbm]world of appliances
The [Bm]arms and legs of martyred men
Doomed [Am]civilization
[Cm]Charred and dropped from their sockets
The [A#m]truth of formations

[Verse 5]
[A#m]Nations come to[Bm]gether [E]as one
Form[Bm]ing candles in the sun
The candle burns deep inside his head
His wax mind, [Cm]finally [Bm]dead
[Cm]His wax [Bm]mind, they all had l[E]earned
Had [Bm]secrets of those that burned
In the valleys with a gun
They still didn't [Cm]reach
the sun[Bm], sun, sun

[Verse 6]
Now, [Bm]nations come together as one
Sending killers on the run
Controlling [Cm]the crowd
[Bm]they take [Cm]the killers
[Bm]Place bold [Cm]and proud
Now even if I [Bm]wasn't [E]dead
[Bm]I'd see the dying straight ahead
Believe [Cm]in your own [Bm]destiny
[Cm]Life is not what you seem to be
[Am]Now

[Verse 7]
[Bm]nations come together as one
Chase the children to the desert
And [Cm]let them frizzle away and fry
Although in their [Bm]own mothers' eyes
We can say or do most anything
As long as we're allowed to think,
think, think
Let's make an ex[Cm]ample
of them [Bm]all
[Cm]Take this institution down [Bm]to a fall

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Pop, pop imperialism
Forging un[Am]healthy alliances
[Cm]Savage transformation
Of the [A#m]world of appliances
The [Bm]arms and legs of martyred men
Doomed [Am]civilization
[Cm]Charred and dropped from their sockets
The [A#m]truth of formations

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Faltering, I'm astray
Epidemic mundane
[D]Qualifi[Am]ed, justified
Pasteurized, so inane
[Cm]Mathematics prevail
Over hands held by nails
[Bbm]Crucified, rarified, petrified in the rain
