Keep The People Working Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
When [D]they sell the final weapon,
we can all watch it blow
Keep the people working, working
Keep the people working, working
Keep the people working, working

[Verse 2]
Gotta keep the people working
[D]In the bed of iron they cast
the final weapon
Just to keep the people working,

[Verse 3]
got to keep the people working
[D]
From the mines of anatolia to
the isle of mandalay
Along the coast of sullen africa,
they're queuing up to pay
No cause, I don't discriminate,
I sell to those who buy
There never was an innocent who
didn't want to [G]die[D][G][D]
And with demand upon the increase
what could keep the cost down
If I keep the people fighting,
I can really go to town
No surprise, the cash you borrow,
we can close the deal tomorrow
Just swiss francs or dollars won't

[Verse 4]
cause me any borrow, boy
[D]In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working,
got to keep the people working
In a bed of iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working,

[Verse 5]
got to keep the people working
[D]Everybody itching for someone
to serve the task
I'll arm the politician for the coup,
the crew, the cast,
I have a score of different faces,
I can look like a lord
Seen in high places,

[Verse 6]
flying on the concorde
[D]
Well you can marvel at precision,
you can dial a telephone
Call up color vision from the
safety of your home
You can mount the great offensive
from a button by the chair
If you arm the right system,
you can ionize the air

[Verse 7]
[D]In a bed of iron, they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working,
got to keep the people working
In a bed or iron they cast the final weapon
Just to keep the people working,
got to keep the people working
Like the wind across the frontier
or the breaking light of day
I push across the mountains,
all around the bay of biscay

[Verse 8]
[D]Freeze in north america, boil in pakistan
All along the amazon,

[Verse 9]
from the fire to the frying pan
[D]
Whether air, sea or battle ground,
desert sand or snow
When they sell the final weapon we can all watch it

[Outro 1]
blow
[D][B][B][Ab][D][F#][Eb][Fdim][F#sus4]
