lyrics

VERSE 1
Dm F
Forgiveness is shiny, forgiveness is great
C G
In fact it’s the key to ending all hate
Dm F
And if I owned the world and the skies and the seas
C G
I’d tell everyone that it was the bee’s knees
Dm F
But I don’t own this world and this world don’t own me
C G
And the world’s full of pain and the world’s filled with glee.
Dm F A
One thing I know is that I am free …

CHORUS
Gm Dm
But we’re not on my planet and I’m angry god dammit
F C
And I don’t think I can hold this one in.
Gm Dm
You hurt her so and I need you to know
F C
What it feels like to burn from within.
Gm Dm
You made her bleed just with your spineless greed
F C
I will make you understand.
Gm Dm
You hurt my friend and the soles of your feet
A
Are no longer a safe place to stand.

Cm G
Without emotion, we are but robots
Cm G
Without instinct, mere machines
Cm G
Without logic, we are but animals
Cm
So we must live our lives hanging in
D
between

VERSE 2 (Same chords as previous verse)
A bathtub of spiders, a bellowing bull,
There is no doubt, that my head is full
Of plans to dispatch you and ways you could pay
So you sir had better not get in my way.
But I’m not gonna kill you, and I’m not gonna try,
And I’m not gonna tell you I want you to die.
You’ve done me wrong so I made you a song,
Hope you like it.

Cm G
What some call a room full of pacifists
Cm G
I call a cannibal’s buffet
Cm
It’s all very well to say what’s good
G
Spread the word you really should
Cm
But what’s the use in being good if you’re always gonna
D
run away.

Gm Dm
‘Cos we’re not on my planet and I’m angry god dammit
F C
And I don’t think I can hold this one in.
Gm Dm
You hurt her so and I need you to know
F C
What it feels like to burn from within.
Gm Dm
You made her bleed just with your spineless greed
F C
I will make you understand.
Gm Dm
You hurt my friend and the soles of your feet
A … Dm
Are no longer a safe place to stand.
