Picking pattern approximate
How dare you wear a robe to preside
|G C |C G |C D7add4
How dare you cover your head to hide your face from God
How dare you smile from behind your beard
To hide the fact
Your heart's a-feared, and waive your rod
How dare you be the one to assess
Me, in this God-forsaken mess
|C C |C |Dadd4ii |C |
You, a man in a purple dress A man in a purple dress
repeat intro
|G D7add4 |C |G D7add4|C |
You are all the same Gilded and absurd
Regal, fast to blame
Rulers by lost word
|C D7add4 |Cii D7add4|Gadd4 | | | |
Men above men or prats with your high hats You
priest, you mullah so high (You)
You pope, you wise rabbi
|C |Dadd4ii|C |G
You're invisible to me, like vapour from the sea
repeat intro
How dare ya, do you think I'll quietly go?
You are much braver than you know
For I can't die
Your staff, your stick, your special cap
They'll protect in hell, what crap
Believe the lie
How dare you be the one to assess
Me, in this God-forsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress
When you place your frown between my God and prayer
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men or prats in your high hats
You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You're invisible to me, like vapour from the sea
I lovingly mock you noble lords
We all dress up to grant awards
I do that as well
I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you're not astride a fence
That would not sell
But I will deliver this address
Your soul's condition don't impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress
