I’ll take away the wise men, I'll take away the fools

    Em          D             Em
And bring their bodies all to clay.

Em                     D
All the politicians of high and low degree,

Em               D         Em
Lords and ladies great and small,

Don’t think that you'll escape and need not dance with me,

Prepare yourselves to dance and pray

Em                              D
