Intro

Am---G x3, F--E(hold)

Verse 1

You sold your soul to stay afloat

 they raised the stakes to watch you fold

locked the doors and tapped the phones

 and you just fled to Mexico

No one's gonna fix all your mistakes

Dancing with the devil, you had better

 keep your hands above the waist

Chorus

Everything you touch

 will turn to sand

 when you see the

 world as nothing more

 than money in your hand

 You'll never get the

 chance to understand

 just that it's like to

sleep without these

voices in your head

 the silent chorus

of the dead you left behind

Interlude

Am--G x2 F--E(hold)

Verse 2

You taste the

treason on her tongue

 you settle in the D.C. slum

hilltop house in Washington

 that they call the rising sun

 She washed the lipstick

 smudges from her face

 Sleeping with the state

 you will eventually

just learn to

love your taste

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

[Listen! Open

the door Fed window!

He has no idea how bad it is

 out there! He has no idea!

 He has no idea! None! And

 Bill Poole? Has no idea!]

 A new hope for the poor folks

 just a penny to the rich

 There's a rally down on one

street as a fire

 burns in Kensington

 As you carve another

notch into your gun

 Set the spark and

 take your mark

 you've finally got

them on the run

(Repeat Chorus)
