Inside each head
there's a piece that's small and dumb

Paved them there hills
will soon be holes
       F#         A        E                 F#         A         E
I will wear them down with files of gain and greed and gold
       F#         A        E         F#      A       E
Under grass and rocks and dirt, it's warm inside the earth
F#      A         E                F#       A      E

I'll make it mine
I'll be king of the heap
