[Intro] G C G Bb F G C G Bb F [Verse 1]
    G                                          C
The time has finally come you get a mouth full

     G                                            Bb
You only act on greed and by your actions this is proof

              G                                     C
And can't you see the flowers dying all around you?

         G                                Bb            F
Got your hands in the devils pockets, got everything to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
           G           C         Bb     G
And so you lash out to crush the ones below

        Bb        F
All the ones that you fear most

G        C         Bb        G
 And you call this crowd control

             Bb            F
Well, let me break it down for you
[Chorus]
    G                            Bb
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself

        Cm                             F                 Bb
Another way to cut the cost, hide your face from all the guilt

           G                               Bb
And it's a shame to have to say you had to kill to gain control

             Cm                   F           Bb
But at least you made some money, hey let the good times roll
[Interlude] G C G Bb F [Verse 2]
          G                                    C
It's your dream to be the king of all creation

   G                                                   Bb
As far as I'm concerned you've hung your shadow on the wall

                G                                       C
And though your fingers never really pulled the trigger

     G                                    Bb                  F
Your hands are just as guilty, you're the one who brought the blood
[Pre-Chorus]
           G           C         Bb     G
And so you lash out to crush the ones below

        Bb        F
All the ones that you fear most

G        C         Bb        G
 And you call this crowd control

             Bb            F
Well, let me break it down for you
[Chorus]
    G                            Bb
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself

        Cm                             F                 Bb
Another way to cut the cost, hide your face from all the guilt

           G                               Bb
And it's a shame to have to say you had to kill to gain control

             Cm                   F           Bb
But at least you made some money, hey let the good times roll
[Interlude] G C G Bb F G C G Bb F [Verse 3]
G
 Oh my, the greed has now consumed you

Cm                      Bb
  Your eyes fade as you fall into the ocean

G
 You move fast to feed your lust for money

Cm                         Bb
  You dive down now you're caught in the commotion
[Verse 4]
G
 All this and you traded it for nothing

Cm                Bb
  A cheap lie you put it in your pocket

G
 All this, yeah you traded it for nothing

Cm                      Bb        A        G
  Oh my, I can see your heart has met it's end
[Outro] G C G Bb F G C G Bb F
