What will you do when they drink us all down? 
         F         E                Am
Will you slam your fist down on the table?

There are snakes out in the night; 
All these kids have gone astray; 
There are women with no meaning to their names 
When we say them- they are worse to win 
                       E     F     E
For never over sinful days? 

Am
So if I ever hurt you 
It will be in self-defense 
And if I ever hurt you 
It will be in self-defense
