Can you tell me brother? was I deceived, or in denial?
C# D# G#
I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified
Bbm F#
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and lied

We're never gonna know how hard you cried
Bbm F#
When you petitioned and your access was denied
F# Fm Bbm
'Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
F# Fm Bbm
'Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

Well you can't escape
