[Verse]

  B                     (E)
  Seems the sickness within each year
      A                    (E)                  G#m
  has got what it takes to make the go-getters volunteer
   B                    (E)
  applauding their own cynical skills
        A                    (E)
  let's drop the bomb, their future's on
        G#m
  let's drop the bomb
          B           A                G#m
  because dusted off opinions are way around
   B        A              G#m
  desperate for some moral ground
 C#m       A          G#m
  I detest everything they've blessed
 C#m      A    F#
  I abhor everything they stand for


[Chorus]

E         B C#m A
  a few degrees of rottenness
E             B C#m A
  is what separates their lives from their deaths

[Verse]

  B                    (E)           A      
  to many free market conquerors and inventors
      (E)                  G#m
  of government bluffs are looked up upon:
  they know the job and get it done
       B                     (E)
  with cheap convenience and racing airwaves
  A              (E)                 G#m
  I overslept my going for vengeance rightful retaliation
  B               A                   G#m
  I would like to enter their vicious circle
  B              A                      G#m
  with the adrenaline rush of a great beserker
  C#m               A          G#m
  they seek profit, they think global
  C#m        A         F#
  but see poverty as a personal failure and shame


[Chorus]

E         B C#m A
  a few degrees of rottenness
E             B C#m A
  is what separates their lives from their deaths


[Bridge]

G#m              A
  so call me killjoy
                G#m                      A
  but there's a certain happiness and success
                 B      A     B     A
  I'd like to destroy
E         B C#m A
  a few degrees of rottenness
E             B C#m A
  is what separates their lives from their deaths
E                B C#m A               
  maybe I'm only one of many
E                   B C#m A
  who's started to reconsider murder
E               B C#m A
  the harder it gets
                     E
  the more they tend to look like
   B C#m  A       E
  moving targets
