(E Am)
Verse
E Am
Paid the Piper for your damned religion
E Am B
Lookin' up at the stars for signs of it
E Am
Bet on mercenaries like twin race cars
E Am B
Tell me why this corruption ain't all your fault
Pre-Chorus
F#m B
Waiting by the yard your fine
F#m B
Children's guns they fire by night
F#m B
Bullets in the dark
Am
Your life it's hard
Chorus
E B
So you bring it up baby
F#m A
Just let it down again
E B
And say the world has screwed you
F#m A
Because you're buying everything
E B
There's a price to be in heaven
F#m A
Cuz lord it ain't for free
E B
You need divine intervention
F#m A
Come sanctify me
Verse

Wait for him in the back he's got your dough

They've got to be taxes so let the murders grow

What's wrong with this boy his neck is snapped
E Am B
You better run from the police cuz they've got your ass

Waiting by the yard your fine

Bullets in the dark

Your life it's hard
