[Intro]
Gadd5 Gadd5 G G C C G G x2
[Verse 1]
[Gadd5]The part that is envious
Cold hearted and devious
[G]Greedy, mischievous
Global, colonial
[C]Bloodthirsty, blind
Mindless and cheap
[G]Focused on borders
And slaughter and sheep
[Verse 2]
[Gadd5]Burning of books
Bulldozing of homes
[G]Given to targeted killing
With drones
[C]Lethal injections
Arrest without t[G]rial
[Verse 3]
[Gadd5]Monocular vision
Gangrene and slime
[G]Unction, sarcasm
Common assault
Self-[C]satisfied heroic killers
Lifted on [G]high
[Verse 4]
[Gadd5]Piracy adverts, acid attacks
On [G]women by bullies and perverts and hacks
The [C]rigging of ballots and the buying of [G]power
[Verse 5]
[Gadd5]Lies from the pulpit
Rape in the shower
[G]Mute, indifferent
Feeling no shame
[C]Portly, important
Leering, derang[G]ed
[Verse 6]
[Gadd5]Sat in the corner watching TV
[G]Deaf to the cries of children in pain
[C]Dead to the world
Just watching the [G]game
[Verse 7]
[Gadd5]Watching endless repeats -
Out of sight, out of mind
[G]Silence, indifference:
The ultimate crime
But [C]when I met you, that part of me [G]died
[Instrumental]
[G] [G/F#]
[Chorus]
[C]Bring me a bowl
To bathe her [G]feet in[G][G/F#]
[C]Bring me my final cigar[G]ette
[Outro]
It would be [G]better by [D/F#]far to [Em]die in her [D]arms
Than to [C]linger
In a [B]lifetime of [B7]regret
