[Intro]
G5** F5    G5** F5
G5** F5    G5** F5

[Verse 1]

G** F* F5
       Born from some
mother's womb
G** F* F5
       Just like any other room
G** F* F5
       Made a promise for
a new life
G** F* F5
       Made a victim out
of your life

[Bridge]
E5
 When your time's on the door
F5
 And it drips to the floor
E5
 And you feel you can touch
B5
 All the noise is too much
E5
 And the seeds that are sown
F5                     E5
 Are no longer your own

[Verse 2]
G** F* F5
       Just a minor operation
G** F* F5
       To force a final ultimatum
G** F* F5
       Thousand words
are spoken loud
G** F* F5
       Reach the dumb
to fool the crowd

[Bridge]
E5
 When you walk down the street
F5
 And the sound's not so sweet
E5
 And you wish you could hide
B5
 Maybe go for a ride
E5
 To some peep show arcade
F5                          E5
 Where the future's not made

[Verse 3]
G** F* F5
       A nightmare situation
G** F* F5
       Infiltrate imagination
G** F* F5
       Smacks of past Holy wars
G** F* F5
       By the wall with
broken laws

[Chorus]
G5** F5      G5**  F5
         The lea - ders of men
     G5** F5
Born out  of your frustration
    G5**  F5
The lea - ders of men
       G5**          F5
Just a strange infatuation
    G5**  F5
The lea - ders of men
       G5**    F5
Made a promise for a new life
G5** F5

[Verse 4]
G** F* F5
       No saviour for our sakes
G** F* F5
       To twist the
internees of hate
G** F* F5
       Self induced manipulation
G** F* F5
       To crush all thoughts
of mass salvation

[Outro]
E5  E  C5  D5
E5  E  C5  D5
