[Verse 1]
[Em]Your class,
your caste, your country, sect, your [C]name or your tribe
There's [G]people always dying,
trying to [Am]keep them alive
There are [G]bodies decomposing
in con[Am]tainers tonight
In an abandoned build[C]ing where

[Verse 2]
A squat[Em]ter's made a mural
of [C]a Mexican girl
With [G]fifteen cans of spray paint
in a [Am]chemical swirl
She's [G]standing in the ashes
at the [Am]end of the world
Four wind[C]s blowing through her hair

[Verse 3]
But when great [Am]Satan's [D]gone,
the whore of [Am]Babylon[D]
She just [C]can't sus[G]tain the
pressure [C]where it's [G]placed

[Interlude 1]
She caves
[Am][Em][C]
[G][Am][G][Am]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf,
[C]the Qu'ran's mute
If you [G]burn them all together,
you get [Am]close to the truth still
They are [G]pouring over Sanskrit
on the [Am]ivy league moons
While [C]shadows lengthen in the sun

[Verse 5]
Cast on [Em]a school of meditation
built [C]to soften the times
And [G]hold us at the center
while [Am]the spiral unwinds
It's [G]knocking over fences,
crossing [Am]property lines
Four [C]winds, cry until it comes

[Verse 6]
And it's the [Am]sum of [D]man
Slouching towards [Am]Bethlehem[D]
A heart just [C]can't con[G]tain
all of that [C]empty [G]space
It [Am]breaks, it [D]breaks,

[Interlude 2]
it breaks
[D][Em][C][Em][G]
[Em][C][D]

[Verse 7]
Well, I went [Em]back to my rented
[C]Cadillac and company jet
Like [G]a newly orphaned refugee,
[D]retra[Am]cing my steps
[C]All the way[G] to Cassad[D]aga to
com[Am]mune with the dead
They said, [C]'You'd
better look alive.'

[Verse 8]
And I was [Em]off to old Dakota
where [C]a genocide sleeps
In the [G]black hills, the bad lands,
the cal[Am]loused east
I [G]buried my ballast, I [Am]made my peace
Heard four wind[C]s leveling the pines

[Verse 9]
But when great [Am]Satan's [D]gone,
the whore of [Am]Babylon[D]
She just [C]can't re[G]main with
all that [C]outer [G]space
She [Am]breaks, she [D]breaks,
she [Am]caves, she caves
[D][Em]
