This old Gtown is filled with D7sin,
It'll G7swallow you Cin
If you've Ggot some money to D7burn.
Take it Ghome right aD7way,
You've got G7three years to Cpay
GBut Satan is D7waiting his Gturn
[Chorus]
This old Cearthquake's gonna D7leave me in the Gpoor house.G7  
It Cseems like this Gwhole town's inD7sane
On the Cthirty-first D7floor your G7gold plated Cdoor
Won't Gkeep out the D7Lord's burning Grain
[Verse]
The Gscientists D7say
It'll G7all wash aCway
But Gwe don't believe any D7more
Cause we've Ggot our recD7ruits
And our G7green mohair Csuits
So Gplease show you D7I.D. At the Gdoor.G7

A Gfriend came aD7round.
Tried to G7clean up this Ctown;
His iGdeas made G7some people D7mad.
But he Gtrusted his D7crowd,
So he G7spoke right out Cloud
GAnd they lost the D7best friend they Ghad
[Chorus]
This old Cearthquake's gonna D7leave me in the Gpoor house.G7  
It Cseems like this Gwhole town's inD7sane
On the Cthirty-first D7floor your G7gold plated Cdoor
Won't Gkeep out the D7Lord's burning Grain
[Outro]
On the Cthirty-first D7floor your G7gold plated Cdoor
Won't Gkeep out the D7Lord's burning Grain
