🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD          E minor 7Em7
Circle around the park,
            D MajorD
joining hands in silence
       G+G
Watch the evil black the sky
   D MajorD
The storm has ripped the shelter
  E minorEm
of illusion from our brow
 B minorBm  G# minorG#m     G+G
This power is no mystery to us now

🎸 Verse 2:
 D MajorD         G+G
Leave your spirit genocide,
             D MajorD
the cancer you won’t remove
             G+G
We cast our funeral rose inside
            D MajorD
bury the need to prove
           G+G        D MajorD
Our mutilation is to gain from the system

Turn your head away from the screen, oh people
D7D7          G+G
It will tell you nothing more
    D MajorD                E minorEm
Don’t suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public’s empty promise
    B minorBm       G# minorG#m    G+G     D MajorD
To the people that the public can ignore

🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
                G+G
This way of life is so devised
                D MajorD
to snuff out the mind that moves
               G+G
Moving with grace the men despise,
               A augmentedA
and women have learned to lose
               G+G       C majorC    A minorAm B minorBm  D MajorD
Throw off your shame or be a slave to the system

🎸 Chorus 1:
            B minorBm  D MajorD
I see you take another drag
                  B minorBm
One more lost soul to raise your flag
  D MajorD        G+G  B minorBm   D MajorD
The sky is a landfill
            G+G  B minorBm  A augmentedA
I see you take another drag
    BB    B minorBm   A augmentedA   BB   B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
Let’s see you take another drag

🎸 Bridge:
      G+G          F#F#
You like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress
       A augmentedA       E MajorE
You sing in praise of suicide
 G+G
We know you’re useless
 F#F#             A augmentedA  E minorEm
Like cops at the scene of a crime
       G+G
With your steroids and your feedbag
              A#A#
and your stable and your trainer
 BB          G# minorG#m       G+G
I got a mail bomb for you, Mr. Strong Arm

🎸 Verse 4:
D MajorD
Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes
                 G+G
For the violence of a nation gone by
    D MajorD               E minorEm
Or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls
        B minorBm     G# minorG#m  G+G
That will now black the sky

🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
D MajorD                G+G
Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes
                 D MajorD
will plug up the mind that moves
                 G+G
Moving with grace the men despise,
                D MajorD
and women have learned to lose
               G+G          D MajorD  B minorBm  D MajorD
We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system

🎸 Chorus 2:
            D MajorD
I see you take another drag
               D MajorD
One nation bends to kiss the hag
           B minorBm   D MajorD
The sky is a landfill
            D MajorD   B minorBm  D MajorD
I see you take another drag
      B minorBm       D MajorD  B5B5
I see you take another drag
A augmentedA   D MajorD  BB        A augmentedA  B minorBm
I have no fear of this machine
