Am                  F 
Some say you're trouble, boy 
Am                   F 
Just because you like to destroy

All the things that bring the idiots joy 
G                          E
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction? 
 
Am                  F 
And the Kunst won't talk to you 
Am                   F 
Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu 
Am                    F 
Because you robbed a supermarket or two 
G                               E 
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco? 
 
C                  F 
Did I see you in a limousine 
C                     F 
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened 
C                        F 
Turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean 
 
G 
For the fallen are 
Am 
the virtous among us 
C 
Walk among us 
G 
Never judge us, yeah we're all... 
 
Am         F 
Up now and get 'em, boy 
Am         F 
Up now and get 'em, boy 
G                               E 
Drink to the devil and death to the doctors 
 
C                  F 
Did I see you in a limousine 
C                  F

G                         Am 
Five thousand users fed today 
F                      G        
As you feed us, won't you lead us

Am              F 
 
Am              F 
 
Am              F 
So we stole and drank Champagne 
Am              F 
On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain 
Am                 F 
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?" 
G                               E 
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation" 
 
Am              F 
In my blood I feel the bubbles burst 
Am                       F 
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst 
Am                         F 
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt 
G                        E 
I fell to the floor fainting at the sight of blood 
 
C             F 
Did I see you in a limousine 
C                F  
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened 
C                       F 
Turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean 
C                  F 
Be the Magdalene or virgin 
C                       F 
You've already been and we've already seen 
 
G 
For the fallen are the 
Am 
virtous among us 
C 
Walk among us 
G 
Never judge us, we're all blessed

I only have a problem when people insist on

Taking their hate and placing it on your name
