Vultures sucking gold from you

(Cats, Rats)

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
The search is on, so you just better run

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
And find yourself another way

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
Probably dead, they don't feel a thing

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
To keep them living for another day

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5) x2
(Rats, Rat)

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
You are nonentity, you have no destiny

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
You are a victim of a thing unknown

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
A mantle picture of a stolen soul

(E F#5 G#5 A5 F#5 A5)
A fornication of your golden throne

C#              C#(b5)
Too many people advising me
