They put anAmgels in the electric chair
Straight-up anAmgels in the electric chair
AmAnd no-one knew or no-one cared
AmBut burning stars lit up their hair
AmAnd burning stars lit up their hair
AmAnd crawled to heaven on golden stairs
And oAmh! How we to and fro! To and fro! To and fro!
 Am-  C5- Bb5  
This is our torched estates
(and we are your sweet mistakes)
[Riff 1]
And all them vulgar kings on their dirty thrones
[Riff 2]
Who among us will avenge miss nina simone?
There's fAmresh meat in the cGlub tonight
God blFess our dead marines
SoAmmeone had an accGident
AbFove the burning trees
While somDmewhere distant peacefully
Our vuAmlgar princes slGeep
DAmead kids dont get pGhotographed
God blFess our dead marines
The huAmngry and the haGnged
The daFmaged and the done
StAmriving 'long this spinGning rock
TuFmbling past the sun
Get thDmrough this life without kilAmling anGyone
And cAmonsider yourself goGldenF  
LAmost a friend to coGcaine
CFouple friends to smack
TAmroubled hearts map Gdeserts
AFnd they rarely do come back
LAmost a friend to oceGans
LFost a friend to hills
LAmost a friend to suiGcide
LFost a friend to pills
LAmost a friend to monGsters
LFost a friend to shame
LAmost a friend to marGriage
LFost a friend to blame
LDmost a friend to worry and
LAmost a friend to weGalth
LAmost a friend to stuGbborn pride
And thFen I lost myself
I loAmve my dGog and sFhe loves me
The woAmrld's a mGess and sFo are we
She tuDmmbles long green muddy fields
SAmick with joy and gGlee
And Amas she dreams sweet puGppy dreams
WhFimpering gently
There's frAmesh meat in the clGub tonight
God blFess our dead marines
SomAmeone had an accGident
AbFove the burning trees
While soDmmewhere distant peacefully
Our vuAmlgar princes slGeep
DAmead kids dont get phGotographed
God blFess this century
When the woAmrld is sGick can't no Cone be wFell
But i drAmeamt we was all beaGutiful and stFrong

They put angels in the electric chair

Straight-up angels in the electric chair

And no-one knew or no-one cared

But burning stars lit up their hair

And burning stars lit up their hair

And crawled to heaven on golden stairs

And oh! How we to and fro! To and fro! To and fro!

Am C5 Bb5

Who among us will avenge miss nina simone?

Am G

There's fresh meat in the club tonight

God bless our dead marines

Someone had an accident

Above the burning trees

While somewhere distant peacefully

Am G

Our vulgar princes sleep

Am G

Dead kids dont get photographed

God bless our dead marines

Am G

The hungry and the hanged

The damaged and the done

Am G

Striving 'long this spinning rock

Tumbling past the sun

Dm Am G

Get through this life without killing anyone

Am G F

And consider yourself golden

Am G

Lost a friend to cocaine

Couple friends to smack

Am G

Troubled hearts map deserts

And they rarely do come back

Am G

Lost a friend to oceans

Lost a friend to hills

Am G

Lost a friend to suicide

Lost a friend to pills

Am G

Lost a friend to monsters

Lost a friend to shame

Am G

Lost a friend to marriage

Lost a friend to blame

Lost a friend to worry and

Am G

Lost a friend to wealth

Am G

Lost a friend to stubborn pride

And then I lost myself

Am G F

I love my dog and she loves me

Am G F

The world's a mess and so are we

She tumbles long green muddy fields

Am G

Sick with joy and glee

Am G

And as she dreams sweet puppy dreams

Whimpering gently

Am G

There's fresh meat in the club tonight

God bless our dead marines

Am G

Someone had an accident

Above the burning trees

While somewhere distant peacefully

Am G

Our vulgar princes sleep

Am G

Dead kids dont get photographed

God bless this century

Am G C F

When the world is sick can't no one be well

Am G F

But i dreamt we was all beautiful and strong
