[F]
[Dm] [F]
Who brought the bomb wrapped up in business cards and stained with steak?
[Dm] Who hires a maid to wash his money?
[Eb] Who keeps politicians on the take?
[F]
Who puts outspoken third-worlders in jail just to shut them down?
[Dm] Oh the lies vary from place to [F] place but the truth is still the same, even in this town.
[Dm] Money junkies all over the world [C] trample us on their way to the bank.
[Bb] They run in every race.
[F] Indigo.
Third-worlders see it first.
The dynamite, the dozers, the cancer and the acid rains.
[Dm] The corporate caterpillars come into our [F] backyards and turn the world to pocket change.
Reservations are the nuclear front line.
Uranium poisoning kills.
[Dm] We're starving in a handful of [Eb] gluttons.
We're drowning in their [F] gravy spills.
[Dm] Their tongues are silver forks.
[C] There's a lack of wisdom.
You can hear it [Bb] on their breath.
[F] Indigo.
It's delicate confronting these priests to the golden ball.
[Dm] They preach from the pulpit of the bottom [Eb] line.
Their minds [F] rustle with million-dollar bills.
You say silver burns a hole in your pocket.
Gold burns a hole in the soul.
[Dm] Or uranium burns a hole in forever.
[Eb] It just gets out of control.
[F]
[Dm] There was a crooked man who walked a [C] crooked mile.
He raised a crooked sixpence to hide [Bb] a crooked style.
He won a crooked vote and he smiled a crooked smile.
[F] Indigo.
[Dm] Their tongues are silver forks.
[C] There's a lack of wisdom.
You can hear it [Bb] on their breath.
[F] Indigo.
