[Verse 1]
[D]As I walk along this [A]road
[F#]paved with [Bm]human kindness
I can [G]never for[D]get the price [A]you've paid
I'm an [D]actor [A]on a role, an [F#]artificial [Bm]virus
I'm your [G]daddy, [D]I'm your disgrace
[A]

[Verse 2]
I say, [G]"Kid just move [D]along we don't [F#]want it,
don't [Bm]need it
[G]Your politics [D]just breed des[A]pair"
I sa[G]lute an empty [D]flag of [F#]ancient[Bm]
tribalism and [G]trust me [F#]nobody cares

[Verse 3]
For [F#]I am your ca[Bm]ndidat[G]e[D][A]
I am [Bm]bloody lips and [G]makeup[D][A]
I'm your [Bm]ca liphate,
[G]opi[D]oid[A]s a[Bm]nd mutilation[G][D][A]
[Bm]A celebrity [G]and[D] my[A]
[Bm]name is com[G]petition[D]
[A]I've come to bea[Bm]r your pai[G]n (be[D]ar your
[A]pain) and I can mak[Bm]e it go away
I'll make it go away, I'll make it go away (ay, ay, ay)
[D][A]

[A]

[Verse 4]
[G]Believers, dupes and [D]clowns I want
[F#]you all to gather [Bm]'round
[G]To glorify [D]ignorance an[A]d fear
I dis[G]pense [D]misinformation to a [F#]post-truth generation,
gener[Bm]ation, my [G]darlings don't shed [F#]a tear

[Verse 5]
For [F#]I am your ca[Bm]ndid a[G]te
[D]I a[A]m bloody[Bm] lips and makeup[G][D][A]
I'm your [Bm]ca liphate,
[G]opi[D]oid[A]s a[Bm]nd mutilation[G][D][A]
An [Bm]hermaph[G]rod[D]ite [A]in
[Bm]restrooms and service stat[G]ions
[D]I t[A]ruly feel y[Bm]our pain ([G]feel [D]you[A]r
pain) and I can [Bm]make it go away
I'll make it go away,
I'll [G]make it go away
[F#][Bm]
