[Intro] (x2)
G# C# (x3)
F# C#
[Verse]
G# C#
Meet the son of a Government man
G# C#
and a pillar of salt
G# C#
I was born with blood on my hands and
F# C#
have all signs of a bleeding heart
G# C#
Living high on a giant hog
G# C#
and a mountain so steep
G# C#
keep your head in a hollow log as
F# C#
the ruling fog are about to creep
[Verse]
Ebm G#
What have we done?
C# G# F#
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Ebm Bbm
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
C# G# F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays
G# C#
Out beyond the western squalls
G# C#
In an alien land
G# C#
they work for nothing at all
F# C#
they don't know the mall or the lay-away plan
G# C#
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
G# C#
everything you could want
G# C#
Maybe those invisible slaves are
F# C#
too far away for the ghost to
[Verse]
Ebm G#
haunt, what will we charge
C# G# F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
Ebm Bbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
C# G# F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
C# G# F#
Get used to their dust in your lungs
[Instrumental] (x2)
C# F# (x3)
G#
[Verse]
Ebm Bbm
Is there no way down
C# G#
from this peak to solid ground
Ebm Bbm
without having our gold teeth
G# F#
pulled from our mouth?
[Instrumental]
G# F# (x2)
C# (stop)
[Verse]
G# C#
Make me a drink
G# C#
strong enough
G# C# F#
to wash away the dishwater world
C#
They said was lemonade
G# C#
Walk with me
G# C#
after the show
G# C# F#
Maybe we can find a way
C#
through the minefield in the
Ebm G#
snow, what will they charge
C# G# F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
Ebm Bbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
C# G# F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
C# G# F#
Apologies to the sick and the young
F# G# C#
Get used to their dust in your lungs
