Key:
Bb Bb So you ventured out into the
Am Am new world
Bb Bb To spread your seed in every
Am Am land you could find
Bb G C To take by force whatever you
F could get your hands on
Em7 You said "We're gonna take whatever
Em7 E7 place on the map my finger lands
E7 on"
Bb Bb We'll show them savages, who's
Am Am calling all the shots
Bb Bb We'll give them education
Am which they could not have got
Am without us
Bb G C We'll strip the land and
F force her to put out
Em7 Em7 And if we don't get what we
E7 E7 want we'll put it in her mouth [Break]

Bb Bb Am This is really hard I think
Am we're gonna need somе slaves
Bb Bb We'll drag some pеople back
Am to here and we'll make them dig
Am their very own graves
Bb G We'll give them clothes and
C F teach them to behave
Continues after the ad
Em7 Em7 And they will like it or else
E7 because "God" obviously want it
E7 that way
Bb Bb This should destroy their
Am spirits and crush their sense of
Am self
Bb Bb And when we see the effect
Am this has We'll blame it on the
Am people themselves
Bb G And if they complain we'll
C F pour an oceans worth of sugar and drugs on top
Em7 And then we'll get some bald
Em7 E7 guy wearing a suit to go on TV and
E7 berate them when they cannot stop
Bb Bb And we'll shun the ones who
Am Am do not get the christian diseases
Bb Bb Like cancer, MS, heart
Am Am failure, Lou Gehrig's Codependency and diabetes
Bb G We know which ones come from
C F our father in the sky
Em7 Em7 And we know which ones, were
E7 E7 designed by the "other guy"
Bb Bb That thing in the White House
Am Am is beholden to a deity
Bb Bb It's the same one we are and
Am Am it's name is the economy
Bb G Imaginary numbers dance like
C F Vegas showgirls in his head
Em7 Em7 And when the veil is lifted
E7 You're gonna wish that you were
E7 dead [Break]
Bb Bb Am Am

Bb G C F
Em7 Em7 E7 E7 [Verse 3]
Bb Bb And now we've gotten all the
Am Am things we could ever want
Bb Bb Like cars, milk frothers,
Am Am crime and books from self-help authors
Bb G And coal and diamonds,
C F buildings, oil and lots of steel
Em7 Em7 And every moment was worth it
E7 E7 I'm sorry that's just how I feel [Other]
Bb Bb Well that's the only
Am Am baby that bitch could have
Bb Bb that's the only
Am Am baby that bitch could have
Bb G Don't look so glum there's no
C F reason to feel sad
Em7 Em7 Cause baby, that's the only
E7 E7 baby that bitch could've ever had
Bb Bb Well that's the only
Am Am baby that bitch could have
Bb Bb Well that's the only
Am Am baby that bitch could have
