🎸 Intro:

D
E Em Bm G#
G

🎸 Verse 1:
D                    Em7
Circle around the park,
                        D
joining hands in silence
              G
Watch the evil black the sky
      D
The storm has ripped the shelter
    Em
of illusion from our brow
 Bm   G#m          G
This power is no mystery to us now

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

🎸 Verse 3:
                              Em7
Turn your head away from the screen, oh people
D7                   G
It will tell you nothing more
       D                                Em
Don’t suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public’s empty promise
        Bm              G#m        G         D
To the people that the public can ignore

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

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

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

🎸 Verse 4:
D
Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes
                                  G
For the violence of a nation gone by
       D                             Em
Or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls
               Bm         G#m    G
That will now black the sky

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

🎸 Chorus 2:
                        D
I see you take another drag
                              D
One nation bends to kiss the hag
                      Bm      D
The sky is a landfill
                       D     Bm   D
I see you take another drag
            Bm             D    B5
I see you take another drag
A      D   B               A    Bm
I have no fear of this machine
