Intro: Hm (It goes on for two rounds.)

Verse:

Bm      D
Eternal evil
Bm
Yeah it stares behind the desk
Bm                    D
A shark dressed up in money
F#               Bm
Zombie secretary head

Pre chorus:
A                    D
I wasn't looking for control
A                D
Or for a hand to hold
A     D               F#
I got arrested on the way

Verse:
Bm             D
I went for the police
Bm
But they were all over town
Bm          D
For the fireengines
Bm
But they were all upside down

Pre-Chorus:
A                   D
It's not because Im dirty
A              D
Not because Im clean
A              D         F#
Read all about me in the magazines

Chorus:
D
Innoncent in jail
A
Guilty on the street
F#                          Bm
Notify the the people of my needs
D
Why should they care
A
With bitter eyes
F#                       Bm (Let it ring out)
They've already paid the price

Money always takes the place of life

Verse:
Bm                           D
Yeah, do you see the running crowds
Bm
And do they serve an unknown end
Bm                    D
If you live a certain place
Bm
Do you hurt a certain way?

Pre-Chorus:
A               D
It's a cemetery city
A                     D
With a pace so boring slow
A                 D                   F#
Looks like faded, crumbled secondhand clothes

Verse:
Bm            D
The flies are buzzing
Bm
Feel a storm is coming on
Bm                   D
On the T.V a teenage landlord
Bm
Hides his face and goes to court

Pre-Chorus
A                        D
It's the mouthpiece of a nation
A              D
With unhealthy gums
A                      D              F#
It's hard to keep your head above the ground

Chorus:
D
Innoncent in jail
A
Guilty on the street
F#                          Bm
Notify the the people of my needs
D
Why should they care
A
With bitter eyes
F#                       Bm (Let it ring out)
They've already paid the price

Money always takes the place of life
