   CDid they always ask you why you had to act so Fdifferent?
So Cvery different from all the other children
      GWhFat could you tell them?
  CWhen they went off to try to
Criticize you and chasFtise you
CBaptize you and then lobotomize you
   GIsn't it true, Fooh ooh that special school
  GTurned you into a rFeverent fool
  GTell papa and the rFeverend too
  GThat they are ignorFant and you disapprove
CThey would like to
GTurn a subject Finto a citizen
CThey will make you
A patient if you Ftake their medicine
  GThey sell you shit Fto make you sick
  GThat shit I sell will make Fyou well
  GTake two of these and break the great Satan's spell
  CYou know it's an emergency
They call it a perFverted dream
CI call it an emerging scene
I Fsay, say, Gcan't you see
  CThey came with their catechism
Calling it your conFdition
  CI call that crass conditioning
  GOh, Cwhy ain't you lGistening?
Reveal your hidden heFritage
GCollect your true inhFeritance
GA veritable Ftreasure chest opening
CThey would like to
  GTurn a child Finto a Christian
CI've been living without a God
And these Christians don't kFnow what they're Gmissing
AmVisionary dreams
Ripping through the seams
When Gwe gathered around the Cfire
The Fdevious and weak
Make Aminsidious schemes
They Gwant to water down the Cfire
Which is Falways burning
Which is Amalways burning
There's witches Galways burning
COh! The fire!
You Amknow the type of guy
Who doesn't like the light
Don't Gwant to stand beside the Cfire
He Amshackles up your feet
Pushes you to your knees
ForGbids you to receive the Cfire
But it is Falways burning
We keep it Amalways burning
Keep it Galways burning
CFire!
C--F----
CPlease, Believe me
You gotta beGlieve in a drum dream
CEven if seeing the death of a dumb dream
  FMakes a man mean
CMean, mean, Greal Cmean
    C  GThat Fwhat you've Ggotta beC

C F

Did they always ask you why you had to act so different?

So very different from all the other children

G F

What could you tell them?

When they went off to try to

Criticize you and chastise you

Baptize you and then lobotomize you

G F

Isn't it true, ooh ooh that special school

G F

Turned you into a reverent fool

G F

Tell papa and the reverend too

G F

That they are ignorant and you disapprove

They would like to

G F

Turn a subject into a citizen

They will make you

A patient if you take their medicine

G F

They sell you shit to make you sick

G F

That shit I sell will make you well

Take two of these and break the great Satan's spell

You know it's an emergency

They call it a perverted dream

I call it an emerging scene

F G

I say, say, can't you see

They came with their catechism

Calling it your condition

I call that crass conditioning

G C G

Oh, why ain't you listening?

Reveal your hidden heritage

G F

Collect your true inheritance

G F

A veritable treasure chest opening

They would like to

G F

Turn a child into a Christian

I've been living without a God

F G

And these Christians don't know what they're missing

Visionary dreams

Ripping through the seams

G C

When we gathered around the fire

The devious and weak

Make insidious schemes

G C

They want to water down the fire

Which is always burning

There's witches always burning

Oh! The fire!

You know the type of guy

Who doesn't like the light

G C

Don't want to stand beside the fire

He shackles up your feet

Pushes you to your knees

G C

Forbids you to receive the fire

But it is always burning

We keep it always burning

Keep it always burning

Fire!

C F

------

Please, Believe me

You gotta believe in a drum dream

Even if seeing the death of a dumb dream

Makes a man mean

C G C

Mean, mean, real mean

C G F G C

That what you've gotta be
