As recorded by Jethro Tull (From the 2022 Album THE ZEALOT GENE) [Intro] Gb5 D5 C5 Bb5 Ab5 Bb5 Ab5 Bb5 Ab5 Bb5 Ab5 [Verse 1]
N.C.    Cm
Half of us are in the apple;

        Eb
Half of us are in the pie

       Cm
All of us are in the pudding

         Eb
When the last bus has gone by

        Gm
Someone has to take the high road

        Eb
Someone has to make the bed

       Cm
No-one has the right to tell you

       Ab
To lie down when all is said
[Bridge]
                         Gm
The black and white, the stereotype

    Ab         Gm
The polarising pitch at play

      Ab             Gm
While some of us sit in between

  Ab         Gm
Interminable shades of grey

   Fm               Cm
No need to walk the tightrope

        Fm              Cm
Set out on that great divide

    Ab                 Cm
The balance scales may tremble

        Ab                 Gm
But the featherweights are on our side
[Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene

Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between

Bb                 Ab
Beware, beware the Zealot gene:

      Bb         Ab
Naked flame near gasoline
[Verse 2]
    Cm
The populist with dark appeal

    Eb
The pandering to hate

      Cm
Which xenophobic scaremongers

  Eb
Deliver on a plate

   Gm
To tame the pangs of hunger

    Eb
And satisfy the lust

Cm
Slave to ideology

    Ab
Moderation bites the dust

                    Gm
Bee buzzing in your bonnet

      Ab                Gm
And a wasp right up the bum

  Ab
A V-8 under hood

Gm       Ab           Gm
A cocked hammer under thumb

    Fm                Cm
Ear-splitting twitter thunder

      Fm           Cm
And a screaming banshee wail

        Ab        Gm
You got too many opinions

      Ab             Gm   G5
And a tom cat by the tail
[Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene

Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between

Bb                 Ab
Beware, beware the Zealot gene:

      Bb         Ab
Naked flame near gasoline
[Flute Solo] Fm Ab Fm Db Bb Fm Bb Cm [Chorus]
Bb           Ab
Carrying the Zealot gene

Bb             Ab
Right or left, no in between

Beware, beware the Zealot gene:
