ch /ch
| Add9 | |Dm6/A | |
ch /ch
Front rooms Back rooms
ch /ch
Slide into tables
Crowd into bathrooms
Joke around Cheap talk
Deep talk Talk, talk, talk around the clock
Crawl home,Lie down
ch /ch
Teeth chatter Heart pounds
I don't feel so good I don't feel so good
Push a button to escape
Preacher on the tube crying "Lord!"
ch /ch
There's evil in this land
"Rock and roll music!")
"Cast down these dope-fiends
And there noisy bands!"
"Damn their souls!"
Preacher preaching love like vengeance
ch /ch
Preaching love like hate
Calling for large donations
ch /ch
Promising es tates
Rolling lawns and angel bands
ch /ch
Behind the pearly gates
He will have his in this life
ch /ch
But yours will have to wait
dd9
He's immaculately tax free
("Mulitiple hundreds of thousands of ...")
ch /ch
Dm6/F Add9
Tax free
("Hundreds and millions of dollars")
Tax free
("A hundred billion dollars!
And who is paying the price?
Who, who
("Your children are")
Pissed off
Jacked up
ch /ch
Scream into the mike
Spit into the loving cup
Strut like a rooster
March like a man
God's hired hands and the devil bands
Packing the same grandstands
Different clothes
("Pot in their pockets!")
Different hair
("Sexually active")
ch /ch
Raise a screaming guitar or a bible in the air
Theatre of anguish
Theatre of glory
God's hired hands and the devil bands
Oh come let us adore---ME!
ch /ch
Lord, there's danger in this land
You get witch-hunts and wars
When church and state hold hands
Fuck it!
Tonight I'm going dancing
ch /ch
With the drag queens and the punks
Big beat de liver me
ch /ch
From this sanctimonious skunk
We're no flaming angels
ch /ch
And he's not heaven sent
How can he speak for the Prince of Peace
ch /ch
When he's hawk-right militant
dd9
And he's immaculately
tax free
ch /ch
("Our nation has lost its guts!")
Save me
("Our nation has lost its strength")
Tax free
ch /ch
("Our nation has whimpered and cried")
Save me
dd9
("And petted the Castros")
Tax free
ch /ch
("The Khomeinis' and the Kaddafis'")
Save me
("For so long")
Tax free
ch /ch
("That we don't know how to act like a man")
Save me
"I think that we should turn the United States Marines
loose on that little island south of Florida and
stop that problem!"
"I am preachin' love, I am!"
