🎸 Verse 1:
C#m            E    B
   Galvanising uncertainty
C#m                  E               B
Mindful of the weary inkling that is lurking
C#m                     E          B
   Hierarchy, it's been   cracking aegis
C#m                 E           B
   Embodied in this black heart shameless



🎸 Chorus: 
C#m
   Straws in the wind
E          B
   Is it all ending?
C#m
   Straws in the wind
E          B
   Is it all ending?
C#m                       E           B
   Like a blunder brewing full to the brim
C#m                    E            B
   I can see the Beelzebub Cheshire grin

🎸 Post-Chorus: 
C#m                   E
   Cooking something raw
B                      C#m
   Cooking something big
         E
Pandemonium
B         C#m
 Selfish pigs
              E
Headless chickens
B            C#m
 Scared shitless
        E
The media

 Will never quit

   Allegro fueled with discontent
C#m                             E        B
Mortal traffic lights signalling when to stay or go
C#m                E           B
   Condescending expеndables botched to a clock
C#m                E                  B
   Novice to thе dilemma with nothing clever left in stock

   Like a blunder brewing full to the brim
C#m                  E                   B
   I can hear Hell's kitchen and they're singing hymns

🎸 Verse 3:
C#m            E           B
   The affluent with a bad omen hanging
C#m                  E         B
   Monstrosity scarce breaking freedom
C#m                              E
   Shrewd and not in the mood to disillude
B          C#m                       E   B
We are the pillars of a forgotten pier
