[Verse 1]
[E]Pow[Em]er co[C]rrupts the[G]
[Em]soul[C][B][G][Em]
Power [C]can't give up [G]con[Em]trol[C]
[G]At [Em]first you thought you would be [C]wise
With no way to [G]draw the [Em]line
But it went to your [C]head
and you could stop
[G]This [Em]time started letting [Am]things slip
[C5]Stop[C]ped givi[B]ng a shi[G]t[Em]
Let people die for the re[C]gime as
they proclaimed you [Em]king[E][D5]
[G]Long live [Am]the [B]king[C5][C][Dm]
[D5][Em]
[F][E][Am][F][G][F][E5]
[E][F][Em][E][F][C]
[Dm]Spea[C]k no e[Em]vil, cha[F]rred with lies
[Em]Betray the people,
[F]keep them blind
[Em]Propaganda [F]is your one name
[Em]Two -faced hypoc[F]rite[C][Dm][C]
[Am]Power corrupts the [E]good[Em][C][Am]
At [Em]first you thought you could [D5]do no h[C5]arm,
[C]you could make [G]no mis[Em]take
But the tempta[E5]tion [Em]was too s[C]trong,
and your will began [G]to [Em]break
Acting [D5]like [C]gods,
like we're shows to [G]give or [Em]take
Stealing money like a [C]feature on
TV
[G]Speak [Em]no evil, charm[F] with lies
[Em]Betray the people,
[F]eat the pri[Em]de
Propaganda [F]is your weapon
[Em]Toothless hypo[F]crite[Dm][C]
[Am]Power corrupts
[E]Tooth[Em]less hypocrite
[F]Pow[Em]er co[C]rr[Am]upts
[A5]Oh, [E]it works the same way[D5][E5][F]
[Em]Our [E]love can't give up con[D5]trol[E][F]
[Em]It e[E]ats away and takes
its [D5]toll[Em][F]
[E]What do we swallow to have [D5]one?[E5][F][E][Em][D5][Em][F]
[Em][D5][Em][F]

[F][Em][D5][Em][F][B][Bb]
[Am][G][Em][C]
[Em]When's time to stop?
Will you [C]let my words repeat that
[G]people [Em]ask for a change?
So the [C]revolution's bad,
[Em]now you give me every trial
One [C]sentence is the death,
[G]with a [Em]rope around your neck
You let [C]my words corrupt your [Em]soul
