CGoddamn these veins that keep Fbleeding
I'm Gwriggling like a dog in a Emsack
                            Bbm                        F   C(F G)
Torn by the thought but still grinning like a criminal
CWhat do you get for all the free wFheeling?
A pGirouette in a castle of Emsand
BbmTry for the prize and unrFavel in the blink of an eyeC  
Fohh, GI
You've been gCiven a role that Feveryone understGands
To be Cgiven a role that eFveryone understGands
With the Fmoney that you Emhoard you Cbuild another Fwall
Fwoah, Gwoah oCh oh
CUnhook the phone stop Fringing
GCome at the hour, come at the Emman
                       Bbm                  F   C(F G)
Feeling the heat and the oven isn't even on
The eCyes in the night are not fFearless
GTrembling in the weight of the Emair
They've Bbmborne us before, now their mFenace is subliminalC  
Foh Goh
You've been gCiven a role that eFveryone understGands
To be Cgiven a role that Feveryone underGstands
With the Fmoney that you Emhoard you Cbuild another Fwall
Fwoah, wGoah Coh oh
AmBeats in the fGeet, you can Amdo what you Gwant with it
AmI took the oGwners to Amhell with the Gownership
BbmFive years and sFixes and Csevens
CSated the taste by not Fsinging
GToo many ins and not enough Emouts
                    Bbm                      F   C(F G)
Slain on the eve of another indefensible day
CThis isn't quite what I had envFisaged
GWithering with the NišIćiEmbee
BbmThe lane on the lawn overrFan us in the dead of the nightC  
Foh, GI
You've been gCiven a role that Feveryone underGstands
To be Cgiven a role that Feveryone underGstands
With the Fmoney that you Emhoard you Cbuild nothinFg at all
Fwoah, Gwoah oh Coh x2
