Beck: Curses
[Verse 1]
DCurses I send Con these countless Emmen
DCurses on their trespasses and Cwill they never Aend?
DCurses on their Cblades, on the Gspare and open Dlanes
DOnce I've been searching for Crecipe Emacclaim (?)
[Verse 2]
DCurses on their children Crunning all Emaround
DMaking such a business while I'm Cresting in the Aground
DI might rise up to Cmeet them Gwhen they leave this Dlife
DI might rise up to eat them Cwhen they leave this Emlife
[Verse 3]
DCurses on this valley and the Clands on up Emahead
DI was on my way to meet them Cwhen they found me Adead
DAnd I clapped my brittle Chands and I Gmade them join my Dgame
DNow I hope they all decease in Cmerriment and Emshame
[Verse 4]
DCurse every word that's Cplanted on their Emlips
DCurse the sleek machines and their Ciron-colored Aships
DCurse every Cwave that Gpounds their wicked Dshore
DCurse every salesman Cknocking on their Emdoor
[Verse 5]
DAnd I am not a creature and CI am not a Emdog
DI have no claim to be thCere in the evening Emfog
DAnd I am not a Cbone staring Gthrough the Dair
DI have no say in anything, my Ctongue is barely Emthere
[Verse 6]
DCurses on curses, I Csee no other Emway
DSome of them are weeping and Csome of them are Agay
DSome of them have Cwounds so deep, Gthey feel no Dpain
DCurses on their fingers and Ccurses on their Embrain

[Verse 1]

D C Em

Curses I send on these countless men

Curses on their trespasses and will they never end?

D C G D

Curses on their blades, on the spare and open lanes

D C Em

Once I've been searching for recipe acclaim (?)

[Verse 2]

D C Em

Curses on their children running all around

D C A

Making such a business while I'm resting in the ground

D C G D

I might rise up to meet them when they leave this life

D C Em

I might rise up to eat them when they leave this life

[Verse 3]

D C Em

Curses on this valley and the lands on up ahead

I was on my way to meet them when they found me dead

And I clapped my brittle hands and I made them join my game

Now I hope they all decease in merriment and shame

[Verse 4]

Curse every word that's planted on their lips

Curse the sleek machines and their iron-colored ships

D C G D

Curse every wave that pounds their wicked shore

Curse every salesman knocking on their door

[Verse 5]

D C Em

And I am not a creature and I am not a dog

D C Em

I have no claim to be there in the evening fog

D C G D

And I am not a bone staring through the air

D C Em

I have no say in anything, my tongue is barely there

[Verse 6]

Curses on curses, I see no other way

D C A

Some of them are weeping and some of them are gay

D C G D

Some of them have wounds so deep, they feel no pain

Curses on their fingers and curses on their brain
