Am G Am G Am G Am G
[Verse 1]
Am G F
Cynicism is the sickness of my culture
Am G F
We undress each other with an evil eye
Am G F
Concentric circles we look like vultures
Am G F
When we feast on the failures of the lives we criticize
[Bridge 1]
Am G F
Don't stand alone and cast your stones at her
Am G F
Unless you think you're innocent yourself
Am G F
The measure that we use to condemn men
Am G F
Will be the same that's poured out upon our heads
[Chorus]
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G A
The love we sacrificed for an empire made of clay
D G C (C)
No no, no no…….
A D G C Am G Am G
No no, no no…….
[Verse 2]
Am G F
Self-promotions how we function in this culture
Am G F
We fight for the spotlight with a peacocks pride
Am G F
And then condescend to all the lesser men
Am G F
From thrones we make of payed accolades and a compromise
[Bridge 2]
Am G F
There is no power that a man can have
Am G F
Unless it's given to him from above
Am G F
Our ladders of success descend to hell
Am G F
Don't sell your soul and lose your one true love
[Chorus]
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G
The love we sacrificed for an empire made of clay
G A
We've all gone astray
D C (F) G
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way
A
But who can repay
D F G A
The love we sacrificed to be kings for a day
D G C (C)
No no, no no…….
A D G C
No no, no no…….
A D G C
No no, no no…….
A D G C A
No no, no no…….
