[Verse 1]
N.C.    Cm
Half of us are in the apple;
        Eb
Half of us are in the pie
       Cm
All of us are in the pudding
         Eb
When the last bus has gone by
        Gm
Someone has to take the high road
        Eb
Someone has to make the bed
       Cm
No-one has the right to tell you
       Ab
To lie down when all is said
 
[Bridge]
                         Gm
The black and white, the stereotype
    Ab         Gm
The polarising pitch at play
      Ab             Gm
While some of us sit in between
  Ab         Gm
Interminable shades of grey
   Fm               Cm
No need to walk the tightrope
        Fm              Cm
Set out on that great divide
    Ab                 Cm
The balance scales may tremble
        Ab                 Gm
But the featherweights are on our side
 
[Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene
Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between
Bb                 Ab
Beware, beware the Zealot gene:
      Bb         Ab
Naked flame near gasoline
 
[Verse 2]
    Cm
The populist with dark appeal
    Eb
The pandering to hate
      Cm
Which xenophobic scaremongers
  Eb
Deliver on a plate
   Gm
To tame the pangs of hunger
    Eb
And satisfy the lust
Cm
Slave to ideology
    Ab
Moderation bites the dust
                    Gm
Bee buzzing in your bonnet
      Ab                Gm
And a wasp right up the bum
  Ab
A V-8 under hood
Gm       Ab           Gm
A cocked hammer under thumb
    Fm                Cm
Ear-splitting twitter thunder
      Fm           Cm
And a screaming banshee wail
        Ab        Gm
You got too many opinions
      Ab             Gm   G5
And a tom cat by the tail
 
[Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene
Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between
Bb                 Ab
Beware, beware the Zealot gene:
      Bb         Ab
Naked flame near gasoline

[Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene
Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between
Bb                 Ab
Beware, beware the Zealot gene:
      Bb         Ab
Naked flame near gasoline
