Dm9
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
Bb
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
Am9(sus4)
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
Bb7
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
Dm9
And after a while you can work on points of style
Bb
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
Am9(sus4)
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
Bb7
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
Dm9 Bb Am9(sus4) Bb7
[Guitar solo]
Dm9
You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
Bb
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
Am9(sus4)
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
hide your head in the sand
Bb7 Dm9
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
Bb Am9(sus4) Bb7 Dm

And when you lose control
Dm C Dm C Dm C
you'll reap the harvest you have sown
Dm C Dm C
And as the fear grows
Dm Bb A
the bad blood slows and turns to stone
Dm C
And it's too late to lose the weight
Dm C Dm C Dm
you used to need to throw around
C Bb C Bb C Dm A
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
F A Dm
Dragged down by the stone
Bb7
[Tempo I]
Dm9
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Bb
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Am9(sus4)
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
Bb7
If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out
of the maze
Dm9
Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending
Bb
That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend
Am9(sus4)
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Bb7
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer

Who was born in a house full of pain

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

Who was told what to do by the man

Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with collar and chain

Who was given a pat on back

Who was breaking away from the pack

Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end

Who was found dead on the phone

Who was dragged down by the stone

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green
He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives
He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
Am
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo he hath great power and great hunger
C Bm
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
C
Master the art of karate

Lo we shall rise up
And then we'll make the buggers eyes water
