Chords

[Intro] F# C [Verse 1]

F#
I am the idiot

I was considerate

                                 C
I thought things were different

F#
But the dumb and degenerate

Can be so belligerent

                        C
Aggressive illiterates

F#
And this social barbiturate

Is cold and deliberate

                     C
A marketed cigarette

F#
If you dare to be different

Good faith considerate

                   C
You are the idiot

[Chorus 1]

        D
I don't mean to be cagey about this, so I won't be

         B
You gave up on your backbone so quickly it scares me

F#
Cravenly praying you won't be the next victim

C#
Wiping the blood of your friends on your lintels

D
Banish me and sentence me to drink the hemlock

      B
But I will not bow down, I will not tug on my forelock

C#
Before this new set of values, this obvious scam

                                               F# C
I'll be keeping a hold of myself, non serviam

         F# C
Non serviam

[Verse 2] N.C. Is this what you wanted? N.C. Endlessly haunted N.C. All history distorted? N.C. You think that you hate me? N.C. You're fucking Johnny come lately

N.C.                    C
I'm a champion athlete

[Chorus 2]

    D
I'm making a list and I'm checking it twice

     B
And come next Christmas I don't plan to be nice

F#
Whether you're an atheist, or if you believe

           C#
You'll be judged on your cowardice, and I will not forgive

D
God asked Lucifer "What's the plan?"

             B
He said, "I know who I am, man, non serviam

    C#
But moving forward, let's keep things simple

Here are my principles [Outro]

A
Help the ones in need

                 C#
Do your best to leave the others be

                   D
Doubt yourself and keep your mind open

             E                F
Navigate the progress and the scams

        F#  C
Non serviam

        F#  C
Non serviam

N.C. Non serviam
