Lick Your Fingers Clean

    C          Bb    G    F
So place your final burden
        Bb           Eb      F
On your hard-pressed next of kin
          Eb              C
Send the chamber pot back down the 
line
   F         D    G  C G
To be filled up again

                   F    C     Bb
Take your mind off your election
    G     F       C       Bb
And try to get it straight
    G     F       C       Bb
And don't pretend perfection
          Eb            F
You'll be crucified too late

[Verse]
          C         Bb           
And he'll say "you really should 
G        F
make the deal"
       Bb      Eb      F
As he offers round the hat
            Eb               C
Well, you'd better lick your fingers
 clean
      F        D       G
I'll thank you all for that

            F       C          Bb
And as you join the good ship earth
        G      F        C   Bb
And you mingle with the dust
   G       F          C         Bb
Be sure to leave your underpants
     Eb              F
With someone you can trust

        Bb
And the hard-headed social worker
    Eb         F        G
Who bathes his hands in blood
     Bb      F        Bb
Will welcome you with arms held high
    Eb    F        G
And cover you with mud

          C        Bb            
And he'll say "you really should 
G        F
make the deal"
       Bb      Eb      F
As he offers round the hat
            Eb               C N.C.
Well, you'd better lick your fingers
 clean
           F         D       G
Well, I'll thank you all for that
