[Verse 1]
    G                        C               G   C
the schools should teach the children how to lie

        G               C                    D7
and the pretty girls to freeze their skin and turn off the lights

    G                    C          G    C
the world's been trying to eat me alive

        G                    C
but my head's too big and i break its teeth

       D7
every time it takes a bite

           G          C              G    C
there's a bit of antietam inside my mind

           G                  C
where my comrades fell to the enemy

           D7                                  G    C
and i am looking at their bodies in black and white

            G
i'm still alive

C                 G
though far from alright,

C                 D7
i skulked from the fight
[Chorus]
        Em       D/F#
dangling prey before me

     Em          D/F#
how could i walk away?

             C      D *          Cadd9  D *add9
why would i stay, butterfly my veins?

             Cadd9   Bm      Em
if you know an easy way to sustain

              Cadd9  Bm  A7   D7
do you know an easy way?
[Verse 2]
G             C
if you are an honest man

   G           C            G     C  D7
be sure you always wear your helmet

G             C          G              C
if you are a liar be prepared for happiness

        G       C          D7
and fulfillment, i think so

             G            C                  G    C
there's a screaming secessionist betwixt my ears

              G              C
that begs me to exploit my assets

              D7                                       G      C
and feed the static shit wrapped in plastic they wanna hear

              G
it's quite severe

            C           G
they'd like me to be a mirror

           C                        D7
keep them calm while they're getting sheared.
[Chorus]
        Em       D/F#
dangling prey before me

     Em          D/F#
how could i walk away?

             C      D *          Cadd9  D *add9
why would i stay, butterfly my veins?

             Cadd9   Bm      Em
if you know an easy way to sustain

              Cadd9  Bm  A7   D7
do you know an easy way?
D7/F# G7 E7 [Outro]
     Am
the mongols pasture

D                  G              Em
will feed you until youre fat enough

              Am                   D
to fit their coats and write them notes resigning

G                 Em
your freewill in their handwriting

Am              D                 G
and you must declare it is only fair

                     Em                    Am
that your sons and daughters will have to bear

                    D               G
the weight of their absent father

                     Em              Gmaj9/F#
with t.v screens and bottled water

                      Em
so economics can prosper

                              Gmaj9/F#
and you can buy all the happiness
Fmaj9b5 the land of the free has to offer. G
