Intro

Am---G x3, F--E(hold)

Verse 1

You sold your soul to stay afloat

they raised the stakes to watch you fold

locked the doors and tapped the phones

and you just fled to Mexico

No one's gonna fix all your mistakes

Dancing with the devil, you had better

keep your hands above the waist

Chorus

Everything you touch

will turn to sand

when you see the

world as nothing more

than money in your hand

You'll never get the

chance to understand

just that it's like to

sleep without these

voices in your head

the silent chorus

of the dead you left behind

Interlude

Am--G x2 F--E(hold)

Verse 2

You taste the

treason on her tongue

you settle in the D.C. slum

hilltop house in Washington

that they call the rising sun

She washed the lipstick

smudges from her face

Sleeping with the state

you will eventually

just learn to

love your taste

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

[Listen! Open

the door Fed window!

He has no idea how bad it is

out there! He has no idea!

He has no idea! None! And

Bill Poole? Has no idea!]

A new hope for the poor folks

just a penny to the rich

There's a rally down on one

street as a fire

burns in Kensington

As you carve another

notch into your gun

Set the spark and

take your mark

you've finally got

them on the run

(Repeat Chorus)
