[F] [G] Blindness [C] inside The perils of [Eb] benefactors
[F] And the blessings of [C] parasites [Eb]
[F] Blindness [G] [C] inside
[G] [Eb]
We are [F] threatened by all [Dm] things By [C] the [G] devil of [C] cruelty
[Eb]
Just as we're drawn to [F] all things [G] [C] By the devil of delight
[G] [Eb] Mythical devil [F] Of the [C] ever-present love
[Eb] Giving us our usual [F] blindness And our [C] occasional insight
Sun [Eb] [Gm]
[C]
tans in [Eb] reservation dining rooms [F] Pale [G] minors in their [C] lantern rays
[Eb]
That's like [F] night [G] and [C] day
Look at these hostage [Eb] smiles on your president
[F] You [Gm] see freedom scribbled [C] in the subway And like [Eb] night [F] [Dm] [C] and day
[Eb] Oh we are threatened by all [F] things [G] By [C] the god [G] of cruelty
[Eb] Just as we're drawn to [F] all [C] things By the [Eb] mythical god
[F] Oh we are [G] [C] treaded with all these things In the whole wide [Eb] world
Keeper [F] [C] of day and night [Gm] [C]
Critics [Eb] of all expression
[F]
Judges [G] in [C] black and white [Eb] Saying this is wrong
This [Dm] is wrong and I'm gonna tell you [C] what's right
Compelled [Eb] by prescribed standards [F] By our [G] backgrounds of our troubles
And [C] our ideal we all [Eb] fight [F] Wrong [G] and [C] right
And [Eb]
we're threatened [F] by all [G] things We [C] are men who are loved too
[Eb]
And we're drawn [F] to all [G] things
[C]

By the god of cruelty
Men who [F] make these laws

man who's gonna go on the [Eb]
rails
