Apathy 83

Em                              G     Em                    G
  I'm standing on the edge of Vesuvius, my mouth is running dry
Em                  G     Em               G
  Drunk on wine and wisdom, giving it all away
Am                     Am/G           Am/F#                      G
  Old enough to hate tomorrow, young enough not to know where to run
          G        D/F#     Em      D              C     D      G
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the music of the young


[Chorus]
        Em               G    Em               G
And it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
Em               G    C         D      G
  Apathy for the devil, and apathy for some


[Verse 2]
Em                            G               Em                G
  The moon shines brightly on some summer lawn, and envy caught like a leaf
Em                              G                 Em                             G
  Comes floating down upon this frozen desert sand, spitting bullets through the night
Am                       Am/G                  Am/F#                  G
  The siren wails on the ambulance, compassion touches my head and it bleeds
          G        D/F#     Em      D              C      D        G
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the sickly sound of greed


[Chorus]
        Em               G    Em               G
And it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
Em               G    C         D          G
  Apathy for the devil, and apathy for the creed


[Bridge]
Am        C               G          D/F# Em   C                   G/B
  No more gardens for the gardenless. No  more havens for the havenless
Am        C               G            D/F# Em   C                G
  No more helpers for the helplessness. No  more somethings for a less
        C              G                C               G
For the law is now the lawless, and the flaw is now the flawless
        C              G               C          G
And the crime is now accepted, and the criminal respected
        C          G               C            G
And now evil gets elected, and now sinful get selected
      C                G             C           G
See a president proven rotten, now officially forgotten
                    D                                                                          
Was it your General Sheridan who once said "The only good, good man is a dead good man." It was
 B          Em
 not me babe
N.C.                                                          Em           G        Em G
I just said keep your head `n your bread well down under them floorboards, keyboards

Em G x4


[Verse 3]
Em                              G                 Em                          G
  And you, you look like you've gone with the wind, running naked through the streets
Em                      G                    Em                      G
  Wired out, tired out, transcendental mental, only laughing in your sleep
Am             Am/G                         Am/F#                     G
  Nostalgia is starting to focus too late, imagination is starting to itch
          G        D/F#     Em      D              C     D      G
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the music of the rich


[Chorus]
             Em               G    Em               G
And then it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
Em               G      C     D                G
  Apathy for the devil. Apathy's at fever pitch
