If I rCun uphiGll I'm out of breFath C  
If I spend aCll of my Gmoney I've Fgot no money lCeft 
If I place aCll of my cGhips on onFly one bCet
CI'm aFll Gin 
And it's a sCurefire Gbet I'm gonna dFie C  
So I'm Ctaking up praGying on FSunday nCights 
And it's nCot that I belieGve in yFour almCight 
But I miCght aFs wGell 
as insFuranCce or bGail 
Cause instiCtution's like a Gbig bright liFe C  
And it bClinds you into fGear and consFuming and fCight 
And you've been in the dCesert undernGeath the cFharging Csky 
It's just yCou aFnd GGod 
But what if GFod's nCot thGere? 
But his naFme is Con your dGollar bill 
Which juFst bCecame cGab fare 
For the ECvangelist, the CoGmmunist, the LFefts and the RCights 
And the hyCpocrites and the JGesuits and the bFlacks and the Cwhites 
It's in the Cbelly Fof the bGeast 
In the AFtlanCta sGtreets 
Or up in LaFurCel CGanyon
The verge of MFidCdle GEast 
Still they're dCying on the dGark contiFnent C  
It's been hCappening long enoGugh to meFntion Cit 
Have I mCentioned my pGarents are getting back togFether agCain 
It's been C25 FyeGars 
Of spreFadCing infGection 
Somehow weF're nCot affGected 
So my moCm, she bGrushes her hFair C  
And my dCad starts gGrowing BFob Dylan's bCeard 
And I shCare with my frGiends a cFouple of bCeers 
In the OrlCandFo stGreets 
In the bFelly oCf the beGast...

Chords in this song · guitar

C G F C

If I run uphill I'm out of breath

C G F C

If I spend all of my money I've got no money left

C G F C

If I place all of my chips on only one bet

C F G

I'm all in

C G F C

And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die

C G F C

So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights

C G F C

And it's not that I believe in your almight

C F G

But I might as well

F C G

as insurance or bail

C G F C

Cause institution's like a big bright lie

C G F C

And it blinds you into fear and consuming and fight

C G F C

And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky

C F G

It's just you and God

F C G

But what if God's not there?

F C G

But his name is on your dollar bill

F C G

Which just became cab fare

C G F C

For the Evangelist, the Communist, the Lefts and the Rights

C G F C

And the hypocrites and the Jesuits and the blacks and the whites

C F G

It's in the belly of the beast

F C G

In the Atlanta streets

F C G

Or up in Laurel Canyon

F C G

The verge of Middle East

C G F C

Still they're dying on the dark continent

C G F C

It's been happening long enough to mention it

C G F C

Have I mentioned my parents are getting back together again

C F G

It's been 25 years

F C G

Of spreading infection

F C G

Somehow we're not affected

C G F C

So my mom, she brushes her hair

C G F C

And my dad starts growing Bob Dylan's beard

C G F C

And I share with my friends a couple of beers

C F G

In the Orlando streets

F C G

In the belly of the beast...

C G F C C G F C C G F C C G C
