(chorus)
(Keyboard/Synth solo tabbed for guitar) This isnt perfect but its building blocks
so work around it if you want it to sound like the song.

You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? [8X]

But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?

A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood

If you can't do this section the way it's tabbed here, just move it
down to the 2nd string. It isn't difficult.
(chorus)
I didn't spend much time on this section. seeing how its done with a synth,
There isn't much to tab. But this is what i got that sounds closest.
