Swing The Axe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][C][Em]
[Am][C][Em][C]
[Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Wish I had known that life lets you down
[C]Wish I had [C#dim]known that
[C]everyone [Em]drown[C] s[Am]
In a sewer just a puddle

[Verse 2]
of swill and spit
[Bm]
And I can't [Em]breathe (I can't
[C]bre[Bm]athe)
Cause it all [Em]smells like [Bm]bullshit

[Verse 3]
[Em]We came into this world pure
and [C]shining
And now we [C#dim]drag thro[C]ugh
the mud bitching and [Am]whining
As machines carry us to other machines
To churn the [Bm]chemicals [Em]that
kill [C]everything[Bm]
That was once serene
[Em]It falls on our

[Verse 5]
heads
[Em]
It falls on our heads
Like the axe
Like the mortars
Like a righteous intervention
[D][C]

[Verse 6]
It falls [Em]on our heads
Like the rain
Like the pain
We're the victims of ill in[D]tention[C]
It falls on our heads
The [Em]world is dead

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][C][Em][Bm]
[Em][D][C][Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 7]
Denial and [Em]con s[D]umption[C]
Poisoned by our [Em]own [Bm]produc[Em]tion
Denial and con[D]sumption[C]
Poisoned by our [Em]own prod[Bm]uction[Em]

[Verse 8]
Tell me who do we [D]blame [Em]when
the fish turn [C]up dead
When the children are born
[Bm]with dis[Em]figured heads
When the ground won't produce and
the leaves don't [C]grow [Em]back
As the [C]fires burn [Em]forever [C]in
the lines of [Em]smoke stacks

[Verse 9]
Let the [Em]lights burn [C]out
Squander the resources further
[Bm]the [Em]droughts
Pretend there'll be a solution
As we [C]drown in the swell [Em]of pollution

[Verse 10]
[Em]Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow
All we know are the crimes we commit
Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow
We made our bed
And now we'll [C]lie in it
[Em]

[Verse 11]
We made our bed
And now we'll [C]lie in it

[Interlude 2]
[Em][C]
[Am]Are we so deluded

[Verse 12]
[G]in this [Em]septic tank
That we turn to plague and pois[D]on
[Am]Like a temporary sa vi[C]or[G][Em]
No whispers of healing
No help, no warn[Am]ing

[Verse 13]
[Am]It[G][Em][D][Am][G][Em]
[Bm]fall[Em]s on our heads

[Verse 14]
[Em]
It falls on our heads
Like the axe
Like the mortars

[Verse 15]
Like a righteous intervention
[Em]
It falls on our heads
Like the rain
Like the pain
We're the victims of ill intention
It falls on our heads
The world is dead

[Verse 16]
Swing [Em]the axe
It falls on our heads
Swing the axe
It falls on our heads
Swing the axe
It falls on our heads
Swing the axe
It falls on our heads

[Outro 1]
The world is fucking dead
[Em]
[Em]
