(repeats)
(with intro riff)
E5
Inflammable material is planted in my head

       E5
It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead
[Verse 1]
B
  Their solutions are our problems

A          E      B
  They put up the wall
On each side time and prime us
A                  E           D   A  E   D  A  E
  And make sure we get fuck[*] all

B
  They play their games of power

A              E        B
  They cut and mark the pack

B
  They deal us to the bottom

A             E        D    A  E  D  A  E
  But what do they put back?
[Chorus]
        E
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
B        A      E
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
B       A      E
Suss suspect device
[Verse 2]
B
  They take away our freedom

A                E    B
  In the name of liberty
Why can't they all just clear off?
A                E      D   A  E   D  A  E
  Why can't they let us be?

B
  They make us feel indebted

A            E       B
  For saving us from hell
And then they put us through it
A               E        D   A  E   D  A  E
  It's time the bastards fell
[Chorus]
        E
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
B        A      E
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
B       A      E
Suss suspect device
A G E A G E x2 E
        E
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
             B             A            E
(I tell you) Question everything you're told
[Verse 3]
B
  Just take a look around you

A              E        B
  At the bitterness and spite
Why can't we take over
A            E      D     A  E    D A E
  And try to put it right?
[Chorus]
        E
Don't believe us
Don't believe us
B        A      E
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
B       A      E
Suss suspect device
[Outro] (with intro riff)
        E5
We're a suspect device if we do what we are told

      E5
But a suspect device can score an own goal

      E5
I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse

         E5
You're a suspect device they know they can't refuse
We're gonna blow up in their face [*] the publicly released version says '...sod all' here.
