--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1]
Am
Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind

Am
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine

E
Never bein’ able to separate the good from the bad

A
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it, it’s makin’ me feel so sad
[Chorus]
Am
Dead man, dead man

Am
When will you arise?

E
Cobwebs in your mind

               Am
Dust upon your eyes
[Verse 2]
Am
 Satan got you by the heel, there’s a bird’s nest in your hair

Am
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?

E
The way that you hold your head, cursin’ God with every move

Am
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it, what are you tryin’ to prove?
[Chorus]
Am
Dead man, dead man

Am
When will you arise?

E
Cobwebs in your mind

               Am
Dust upon your eyes
[Verse 3]
    Am
The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin

    Am
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you end up in

E
The race of the engine that overrules your heart

Am
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it, pretending that you’re so smart
[Chorus]
Am
Dead man, dead man

Am
When will you arise?

E
Cobwebs in your mind

               Am
Dust upon your eyes

Am
What are you tryin’ to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?

Am
  My back is already to the wall, where can I run?

E
The tuxedo that you’re wearin’, the flower in your lapel

Am
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it, you’re taking me down to hell
[Chorus]
Am
Dead man, dead man

Am
When will you arise?

E
Cobwebs in your mind

               Am
Dust upon your eyes
[Interlude] | Am | % | % | % | [Outro]
Am
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it

Am
Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it
