Eb Gm F
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothing
Eb Gm
Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll
F
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb Gm F
You can mark my words that I said it first
Fm Eb Bb
In a morning warning, no one heard
Fm Eb Bb
I patched up the crack along the wall
Fm Eb Bb
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Fm Eb Bb
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
Gm Bb F
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
Gm Bb F
And tried to tell the town
Gm Bb F
So they filled my cell with snakes
I regret to say
Gm Bb F
Do you believe me now?
Eb Gm F
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
I was onto something
Eb Gm F
Ah-ah-ah, ah
They all said nothing
Eb Gm F
Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb Gm F
You can mark my words that I said it first
Eb Gm
In a morning warning, no one heard
F Eb Gm F
No one heard, not a single word was heard
Eb Gm F
When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming
In the streets, there's a raging riot
Eb Gm F
When it's: Burn the bitch!, they're shrieking
Eb Gm
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
F
It's so quiet
