Highest Bidding Shepherd

 Am G Em Am G F

[Verse 1]
Am
The ink never strays from the lines on the paper
G                     Em
a troubling reminder we're set in our ways
Am
conditioned to buy what is sold just as long as they
G                     F
tell us we need it we're willing to pay

[Chorus]
Am                               G         Em
Place a price tag on my head and start the bidding
Am                                   G          Em
to them we're just a paycheck we are the all consuming
Am
sheep in the pasture that's littered with barbs

[Music break]
Am G Em Am G F

[Verse 2]
Am
a rat in a maze dons the suit in your closet
G                            Em
to rot in a single file line' (shuffle through trenches of white)
Am
may our hearts never whither in wallets
G                                   F
a hunger for monetary wealth dissolves unity (the sheep shall follow)

[Chorus 2]
Am                               G         Em
Place a price tag on my head and start the bidding
Am                                   G          Em
to them we're just a paycheck we are the all consuming(sheep in the pasture that's littered with
 barbs)
 Am                               G         Em
Place a price tag on my head and start the bidding
Am                                   G          Em
to them we're just a paycheck we are the all consuming

[Verse 3]
Am                              G            Em
Preprogrammed god fucking save us come set us free (where are you? where are you?)
Am                             G              F
so cold and empty when there's money on the line (we will tear into ourselves)
Am                              G              Em
Preprogrammed why won't you help us come set us free(where are you? where are you?)
Am                             G                 F
so cold and empty when there's money on the line (we will tear ourselves apart)

[Chorus 2]
Am                               G         Em
Place a price tag on my head and start the bidding
Am                                   G          Em
to them we're just a paycheck we are the all consuming(sheep in the pasture that's littered with
 barbs)
 Am                               G         Em
Place a price tag on my head and start the bidding
Am                                   G          Em
to them we're just a paycheck we are the all consuming
