Verse:
      C/G
I have never seen submission embodied half so well
          Am
as in the feeble competition between men with souls to sell.
         F
And I've never seen a guard dog with less fearsome of a bite
             Fm
than with its tail between its legs found at the rich man's side.

C/G
Look at him! He's sweating. He's sweating from the climb.
       Am
Office worker, soldier, CEO, he's bleeding and he's blind.
           F
And I have never seen a creature more pitiful than him.
           Fm
He drinks "power" like saltwater all because he cannot swim.

Chorus:
Am                         F
Mouths open, servants of a higher power.
C/G                              Em
They told him "It's a staircase! It's a tower!".
F                              Am
Full circle, wagging tails, wearing a collar.
C/G                                       F
Poor madman, that's what happens when you drink saltwater.

    C/G
And I would not expect you to witness what we know
    Am
The song sung at a dark time, the fire in the snow,
          F
Why we're parting up our pie, why you defend your lords
    Fm
And we will have our joy but it will never be yours.


Chorus:
Am                         F
Mouths open, servants of a higher power.

C/G                       F
Even the dogs know not to drink saltwater.


Bridge:
C/G                                 Am
Good boy! You're working exactly as intended.
                                         F
Has the penny dropped you're never gonna get it.
                             C/G
Unrewarded for all of your defending
          G
From your loneliness epidemic.
C/G                                     Am
Good boy! Has any of the money trickled down yet?
                                               F
You say one day you'll be rich? Well, tell me how, then.
                                    C/G
Unpaid marketing department for the power.
     G          Am
Good boy! Good boy!
 F     C/G
Good boy!
     G
Good boy!


Chorus:

C/G                       F
Even the dogs know not to drink saltwater.
