E
Go without 'til the need seeps in
              A                                         E
you're low anymore; collect your novel petals for the stem

[sing verse 1, then chorus; then sing verse 2, then chorus...]

[Verse 1]

E
eviscerate your fragile frame
                            A                                        E
spilled it all in ragged form; a thousand different versions of yourself
              B                               A
and if the old guard still offend; you got nothing left on which you depend
 A
so enlist ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads           

[Verse 2]      
                                          E
See those unrepenting buzzards want your life
                  A
when they got no right; as sure as you have eyes
                E       B       A
they got no right

[Verse 3]

E
Just put yourself in my new shoes; and see that I do what I do
             B                             A
because the old gods still offend; we got nothing left on which we depend
 A
so we waste every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads
         
[Chorus]

Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
