VERSE
D
Down in amongst the streets tonight, books will burn,
Am
people laugh and cry in their turmoil
Turmoil turns rejoiceful
D
Shed your fears and lose your guilt,
Am
tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We ll watch the flames grow higher.
G
And as I was standing by the edge,
I could see the faces of those who left
Am
pissing themselves laughing
and the flames grew higher
G
Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said
C F
The weak get crushed and the strong grow stronger.

VERSE
D
We feast on flesh and drink on blood,
Am
live by fear and despise love in our crisis
What with todays high prices.
D
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Am
and bring whats left of your love for the fire
And we ll watch the flames grow higher.
