Verse 1
^^^^^^^
G Em G
Soon you'll be burning orphanages down,
G D Em
Watching ashes scattering and all over town,
G C Em
And when the smoke gets too close to the ground,
C D Em -- (C, G)
You'll see blue trampling over grey and green over brown.
Verse 2
^^^^^^^
G Em G
And you'll be cutting ears of off, dead men,
G D Em
Pumping shells into the carcass for hours on end,
G C Em
Then you'll swear that we've always been friends,
C D Em -- (C, G)
And be unable to conceive it could ever happen again.
Chorus
^^^^^^
C G
Of course you have, never been to blame,
D Em
for the various horrible things that you did.
C G D Em
You may have gotten away with them too, if not for those meddling kids.
C D
The lump in your throat, the ache in your bones,
D
They are nobody's fault but your own.
Verse 3
^^^^^^^
G Em G
And whatever amount you paid,
G D Em
For your many distractions, well it was too much,
G C Em
And at the end of the day,
C D Em -- (C-G)
To what-ever extent that you hate yourself, it isn't enough.
Verse 4
^^^^^^^
G Em G
And we can no longer afford,
G D Em
Waiting for someone to lift this terrible swift sword.
G C Em
In our basements, we all look so bored
C D Em -- (C-G)
We've never seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
Chorus
^^^^^^
C G
There will be parties, there will be fun,
D Em
There'll be tall gallows for everyone.
C G D Em
And we will all be sleeping easy, Up-on the sinking of the sun.
C D
But there's only one dream that I keep close,
D
And it's the one of my hand at your throat.

Verse 5
^^^^^^^
G Em G
I will not deny my humanity.
G D Em
I'll be rolling in, in it like a pig in feces,
G C Em
Because there's no other, integrity
C D Em -- (C-G)
In-awaiting the demise of our species.
Chorus
^^^^^^
C G D Em
May you endure every indignity knowing all the while, that life will go on,
C G D Em
And when it ends, may have nothing to say, except that it took too long,
C D
And may I be there somehow,
D
Asking, "Where are all of your friends now?"
