Verse 1:
G
Working for the devil
Em
You'll have to pay his tax
G
That means going to see him
Em
Down among the racks
G
You don't believe in him
Em
But he can wait for you
A G
You do his work so fine
Em
He'll remember you
B D E
He'll remember you
G Em G Em
(hit G once and then strum Em)
Verse 2:
G
Worried for my friend
Em
As he shows me round the flat
G
Where I don't wanna find him
Em
His lips an' eyelids black
G
He don't believe my speech
Em
That lines can and should be drawn
A G
Like if he had a shotgun
Em
The barrels would be sawn
B D E
The barrels would be sawn
G Em G Em
Verse 3:
G
Swallowed by the river
Em
Swollen by the rains
G
That leakin' ol' computer
Em
Of fingerprints and names
G
Swimming in the river
Em
That floods the neighborhood
A G
I would call to you
Em
But it would do no good
B D E
But it would do no good
G Em G Em
Verse 4:
G
Voting for the law
Em
That's the general occupation
G
First the public safety
Em
Then second comes the nation
G
You won't believe me now
Em
But there's been some illumination
A G
The wisest cops have realized
Em
They fucked the operation
B D E
G Em G Em
Verse 5:
G
Cooking up the books
Em
A respected occupation
G Em
The anchor and foundation of all multi-corporations
G
They don't believe in crime
Em
They don't know that it exists
A G
But to understand what's right and wrong
Em
The lawyers work in shifts
B D E
The lawyers work in shifts...
G Em G Em
Verse 6:
G
'N speaking of the devil
Em
He ain't been seen for years
G
'Cept every 20 mins
Em
He zooms between me ears
G
I don't believe in books
Em
But I read them all the time
A G
For ciphers to the riddles
Em
An' reasons to the rhymes
B D E
Reasons to the rhymes
G Em G Em
G Em G Em ...
