As recorded by Powderfinger (From the 1994 Album PARABLES FOR WOODEN EARS) [Intro] Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm C [Verse 1]
Bm                       G   Bm 
Spoon fed from a dirty plate

                             G
A diet designed only to agitate

  Bm                           G
A veil of pride and gospel truth

   Bm                                 G  Bm   G
To cover the hidden fist that he used
[Chorus]
      Em            A
And I won't say a word

       Em                A
You've sewn me in my skin

Em                A
Hypocrite walking stick man

Em        G  Bm
Silent grave
[Verse 2]
Bm                                       G               
And the sunken heel kinda slows me down

Bm
Dogs and children lift their legs

                      G
To tattoo a teenage mothers breasts

Bm
Widows of precocious days

                         G
Wear slogans resurrected late

Bm
Parables for wooden ears

                  G      Bm
Steer vehicles of wisdom

               G
All the wisdom
[Chorus]
      Em            A
And I won't say a word

       Em                A
You've sewn me in my skin

Em                A
Hypocrite walking stick man

Em        G  Bm
Silent grave
[Interlude] Em A Em G Em A Em [Guitar Solo] Em Bm Em Bm [Bridge]
Bm
And the sunken heel kinda lights my way
[Chorus]
      Em              D
And I won't say a word

       Em               D
You've sewn me in my skin

Em                D
Hypocrite walking stick man

Em        D  Em
Silent grave
