Verse 1
C F
How miserable I am
C
I feel like a fruit-picker who arrives after the harvest
F
There's nothing here at all
Am
Nothing at all here that could placate my hunger
C F
The godly people are all gone
C
There's not one honest soul left here on the planet
F
We're all murderers and thieves
Am
Setting traps here for even our brothers
Chorus 1
G(no3) F
And both of our hands
C
Are equally skilled
G(no3) F
At doing evil
C
Equally skilled
G(no3) F
At bribing the judges
C
Equally skilled
G(no3) F
At perverting justice
G(no3)
Both of our hands
C
Both of our hands
Verse 2
C F
The day of justice comes
C
And is even now swiftly arriving
F
Don't trust anyone at all
Am
Not your best friend or even your wife
C F
For the son hates the father
C
The daughter despises even her mother
F
Look Your enemies are right
Am
Right in the room of your very household
