[Intro] D D D D D D D D [Verse] D The nazis that we hired For our wedding band G Played your anthem like I wasn’t there for the Father/daughter dance D From the boondocks of Egypt to the Nosebleeds at Calvary G Recite your history of Oppression, babe, While you are under me [Chorus] Am There’s no doubting the devotion G D My ancestors had for yours Am Now we’ve got all the love to pay for G D Like a thousand different wars [Instrumental] D D D D x2 [Verse] D A square foot of empire Around the peep show slot G I see an avatar of mercy with the Same damn jeembles that I got D The boss wants to be anonymous The talent wants to be seen G We weren’t paying for Your body, Lord We were paying you to leave [Chorus] Am Now, who will watch the Chorus line stretching from G D Reno to Rome Am Listen, Cherry, I know You love me, but say G D you love me before you go [Instrumental] C D D C D D C D D C D D C D D C D D D D D D [Verse] D Val Kilmer had a wall-length Mirror just over there G Well, I’m sure He’s someone else now But he was Batman when He lived here D Maybe he’s Yankee Zulu Just waiting for the flood G And maybe Mac the Conqueror with the Severed head of love [Chorus] Am I’ve seen him wearing aviators and a G D black baseball hat Am Stalking airports across the bardo quiet G D As a wildcat [Instrumental] D D D D D D D D [Verse] D The wheel is turning From night into day G Everything’s in transition Everything must change D But none of us here will Ever see the promised land G None of us here will be there For childhood's end [Chorus] Am I see ya, you student G D Debtors in the watchtower overhead Am Searchin' for headlights in the driveway G D Crying "Dad, look what they did" Am Just look G Even their romance made us D Masters and slaves Am And now things keep getting Worse while staying G D So eerily the same Am Come build your burial grounds On our burial grounds G D But you won’t kill death that way [Outro] Am I don’t know about you, But I’ll take the love songs G D And give you the future in exchange Am I don’t know about you, but I’ll take the love songs G D If this century’s here to stay Am I don’t know about you, but I’ll take the love songs G D And the great distance that they came [Outro] Am Am G D
