C         F            C
This is a war we can't win

      C      F                 C          G
After 10,000 years, it's still us against them

       F           C      Em          Am
And my heroes have always died at the end

    C               F               C
So who's going to account for these sins?


      C              F          C
And I don't know who here is my friend

      C           F              C    G
Well, I'm certain that I've seen only men

F            C           Em       Am
Christ, fuck me if I can remember when

       C          F      C
Will I never be lonely again?


         C            F            C
Well the tides are a-turnin' once more

C                F          C        G 
Six dark-winged devils line up at my door

     F           C              Em            Am
Each one is more evil than that which came before

      C               F                C
Seven angels find me spread across the floor


Interlude 1: F C F C F C G F (x2)

           C              F             C
You'd like everyone to believe you're a star

          C              F                 C        G
And I'll admit that it's worked out pretty well so far

              F               C           Em         Am
But when they see the kind of person that you really are

     C            F           C        F
Then you won't be laughing so hard

    C            F            C       F  (same for the rest of this bit)
No, you won't be laughing so hard!

No, you won't be laughing

You won't be laughing

No, you won't be laughing

You won't be laughing

No, you won't be laughing so hard

             C              N.C.      C             F
"We're all depraved and disgusting" I spew like a fountain,

        C        N.C.      C             G
"And debased, defaced, disgraced and destroyed,

         C       N.C.      C                F
"Most of all disappointed" I say atop this mountain

      C       G       C
As I urinate into the void


C                                           F
Fuck I'm frustrated, freaking out something fierce

          C                                   G
Would you help me, I'm hungry, I suffer and I starve
 
     C                                         F
Oh I struggle and I stammer 'till I'm up to my ears

   C           G            C
In miserable quote unquote awe.


      C                                        F
But however since our forefathers came on this land

            C                                  G
We've been coddling those we should be running through
 
       C                                            F
Please don't wait around for them to come and shake hands

        C            G           C
They're not gonna be waiting for you


             C                                     F
'Cause these humans treat humans like humans treat hogs

         C                                    G
They get used up, coughed up, and fried in a pan

    C                           F
But I wasn't born to die like a dog,

       C          G           Am
I was born to die just like a man

      C              F        C       G
I was born to die just like a man!

           C                                      F
It's still us against them, it's still us against them (x a bunch)


            Dm
And they're winning

        G
They're winning!
