[Verse 1]
EmThe fascists and their many guises

As some sDimilar psycho's scrAmewing on the scEmope

  To join sophEmisticates in my head
  CWe'll have our fDun playing the Emhypocrite critic
  CAnd when (all) the cDreatures in their GpalaDces are cEmrushed

  "GI'm cDoming homEme"
  "GI'm cDoming homEme"
[Verse 2]
EmFairy tales and fruitless fortunes
AcquGired from some sad story teller
Can sDometimes (be enough to) keep me mAmum in my kEmeep
EmOrgan grinders orating overtGures of madness
As the heinous hDipster's spending his Amunearned currencEmy
[Chorus]

Fortune iiihiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiiihiis

[Verse 1]

The fascists and their many guises

Anarchists and their fantasizing

D Am Em

It seems sometimes they're sailing the same boat

Em G

Politicians mesmerizing throngs of automated souls

D Am Em

As some similar psycho's screwing on the scope

[Chorus]

C D

I'm leaving town

To join sophisticates in my head

C D Em

We'll have our fun playing the hypocrite critic

C D G D Em

And when (all) the creatures in their palaces are crushed

C D Em

I can safely say "I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

[Verse 2]

Fairy tales and fruitless fortunes

Acquired from some sad story teller

D Am Em

Can sometimes (be enough to) keep me mum in my keep

Em G

Organ grinders orating overtures of madness

D Am Em

As the heinous hipster's spending his unearned currency

[Chorus]

C D

I'm leaving town

To join sophisticates in my head

C D Em

We'll have our fun playing the hypocrite critic

C D G D Em

And when (all) the creatures in their palaces are crushed

C D Em

I can safely say "I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

[Bridge]

Bm Am

There may be many ways of reaching the same plateau

I'll take the road less travelled

If it looks like it ain't been sold

The chains around my neck won't break

Am Em G D Em

But at least they're made of solid gold

[Chorus]

C D

I'm leaving town

To join sophisticates in my head

C D Em

We'll have our fun playing the hypocrite critic

C D G D Em

And when (all) the creatures in their palaces are crushed

C D Em

I can safely say "I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"

G D Em

"I'm coming home"
