[Verse 1]
D
A rotting corpse is stalking the planet
A E
The festering body of neoliberal capitalism
D
They’ve got a corpse propped up on tv
A E
Selling genocide as austerity
[Verse 2]
D
Millions and millions of rounds of ammunition
A E
Tanks for the cops and teargas for civilians
D
Ghouls spitting money into each others mouths
A E7
While I’m working my carcass right into the ground
[Chorus]
C#m B
This hulking eldritch beast
A
That runs on blood and drugs and gasoline
C#m B
Truly I’m beginning to believe in Satan
A
Who else could’ve devised such an abomination
C#m B A x2
[Verse 3]
D
It’s taken control over your body
A E
It has a billion eyes it’s always watching
D
They charged you for your first gasping breath
A E
They’ll steal your labor until there's nothing left
[Verse 4]
D
Already millions of people it’s eaten
A E
This system is hell, we're working for the demons
D A E
if we took all their wealth and threw them in jail for the rest of their days we still
wouldn’t be
even
[Chorus]
C#m B
As I grab the hand of my comrade
A
And together we struggle to our feet
C#m B
That malevolent creature starts spewing icor
A
And together we realize we can defeat
[Coda]
C#m B
Arise ye workers from your slumbers
A
Arise ye wretched of the earth
C#m B
We toilers of all fields united
A
Join hand in hand with all who work
C#m B
Arise ye slaves no more in thrall
A
We have been nothing we shall be all
