[Guitar Riff]
EmWe're the ones who you paid to see a piece Amof my soul for Bmyour money
EmAnd it's my job, to smile while pigs feast
AmSwallows slop out of the Bmhand of a crooked priest
EmThe mantra they sell, it stings like hell
And they Amknow not to ask or Bmthink or tell
EmPlay in the mud like good girls and boys
And we'll Amfeed you the shit that we're Bmsure we can sell
And I go...

I Amwear my lungs Bmupon my sleeves

Filling Amhis shot glass with Bmgasoline

Where they Ammade my friends and we Bmwork for free
But Emthat's alright cause my soul I keep
