Verse 1:

G
Working for the devil
      Em
You'll have to pay his tax
G
That means going to see him

Down among the racks

You don't believe in him

But he can wait for you

You do his work so fine

He'll remember you

Verse 2:

G
Worried for my friend
      Em
As he shows me round the flat
G
Where I don't wanna find him
Em
His lips an' eyelids black
G
He don't believe my speech
           Em
That lines can and should be drawn
     A           G
Like if he had a shotgun
Em
The barrels would be sawn
B           D        E
The barrels would be sawn

G
Swallowed by the river

Swollen by the rains

That leakin' ol' computer

Swimming in the river

That floods the neighborhood
A               G
I would call to you

But it would do no good

But it would do no good

G
Voting for the law
           Em
That's the general occupation

First the public safety

Then second comes the nation

You won't believe me now
           Em

The wisest cops have realized

They fucked the operation

A respected occupation

The anchor and foundation of all 
Em
multi-corporations
G
They don't believe in crime
Em
They don't know that it exists
       A                 G
But to understand what's right and 
wrong

The lawyers work in shifts

The lawyers work in shifts...

He ain't been seen for years

He zooms between me ears

For ciphers to the riddles

An' reasons to the rhymes
B       D      E
Reasons to the rhymes
