[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Bb][F][C]

[Verse 1]
If [Dm]we
crawl [Am]at two
We [Bb]could crawl at twenty- [F]two[Am]
[Dm]And grovel a[Am]t[Bb]
The drop of [F]a hat[C]

[Verse 2]
And [Dm]once they've got you [Am]down there
It's so [Bb]hard to re- straighten [F]your back
[C]It we [Dm]crawl at t[Am]wo
We [Bb]could crawl at one
handred and [F]two

[Verse 3]
And [C]the target brainless
[Em]don't quite reach
[F]Covered so kindly in your [G]opening speech
Is [C]a tiny crab of thought,
crab of [F]thought
On a sideways [G]beach

[Verse 4]
Let [C]lessons not the pupils teach
[F]Justice not [G]the lesers breach
And [C]maggots not have [Em]fingers
[F]Wagged at by leech
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Bb]
Well I made sure
I wro[F]te this song in [G]braille
[Bb]So you could touch the words[F]
The words that sail
[G]

[Verse 6]
From [Bb]my mouth back to [F]the jail
You could [C]touch the words that [G]sail
From [Bb]the mouth back to [F]the jail
That is posing as [G]tongue
[Dm][Am][Bb]

[Verse 7]
[F][C]
[Dm]Curtsies, bows, [Am]thank you sirs
And [Bb]the wearing of a business
[F]suit[C][Am]
[Dm]Lead to complaints of back[Am]ache
And [Bb]end with a Nazi salute

[Verse 8]
[F]And[C] once t[Dm]hey've
got you [Am]down there
It's so [Bb]hard to re- straighten
[F]your back[C]
If [Dm]we crawl at[Am] two
We [Bb]could crawl at two two [F]two

[Verse 9]
And [C]the target brainless
[Em]don't quite reach
[F]Covered so kindly in your [G]opening speech
Is [C]a tiny crab of thought,
[Em]crab[C] of th[F]ought
On a sideways [G]beach

[Verse 10]
Let [C]lessons not the pupils teach
[F]Justice not [G]the lesers breach
And [C]maggots not have [Em]fin gers
[C]Wag[F]ged at by leech
[G]

[Verse 11]
[Bb]
Well I made sure
I [F]wrote this song in [G]braille
[Bb]So you could touch the words[F]
The words that sail
[G]

[Verse 12]
From [Bb]my mouth back to [F]the jail
You [C]could touch the words that [G]sail
From [Bb]the mouth back to [F]the jail That

[Interlude 1]
is posing as tongue
[G][Dm][Am][Bb][F][C]

[Verse 13]
If [Dm]we crawl at[Am] two
We [Bb]could crawl at twenty- [F]two[C]
If [Dm]we crawl at[Am] two
We [Bb]could crawl at twenty- two
