[Verse 1]
Em C G G I see The sword of Damocles, is right above your head. Em C G G They're trying a new treatment, to get you out of bed. Em C G G But radiation kills both bad and good, it cannot differentiate. Em C G G So to cure you they must kill you, the sword of Damocles hangs above your head.

[Verse 2]
Em C G G Now I've seen lots of people die from car crashes or drugs. Em C G G Last night on 33rd street, I saw a kid get hit by a bus. Em C G G But this drawn out torture over which part of you lives, is very hard to take. Em C G G To cure you they must kill you, the sword of Damocles above your head.

[Verse 3]
Em C G G That mix of morphine and dexedrine, we use it on the street. Em C G G It kills the pain and keeps you up, your very soul to keep. Em C G G But this guessing game has its own rules, the good don't always win. Em C G G And might makes right, the sword of Damocles is hanging above your head.
[Verse 4]
Em C G G It seems everything's done that must be done from over here, though things don't seem fair. Em C G G But there are things that we can't know, maybe there's something over there. Em C G G Some other world that we don't know about, I know you hate that mystic shit. Em C G G It's just another way of seeing, the sword of Damocles above your head.
