Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Working for the devil
You'll [Em]have to pay his tax
[G]That means going to see him
[Em]Down among the racks
[G]You do [Em]his w[A]ork so fine[G]
[Em]He'll [Bm]remember y[D]ou

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[G]Worried for my friend
As he shows me [Em]round the flat
Where [G]I don't want to find him
His [Em]lips an' eyelids black
He [G]don't believe my speech
That lines [Em]can and should be drawn
Like [Am]if he had a shotg[G]un
The bar[Em]rels would be sawn

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
Swal[G]lowed by the river
[Em]Swollen by the rains
[G]That leakin' ol' computer
Of [Em]fin gerprints and names
Swim[G]ming in the river
That [Em]floods the neighborhood
[Am]I wo[G]uld call to yo[Em]u
But [Bm]it would d[D]o no[Bm] goo[D]d[Em]
[A][Em]

[Verse 4]
Vot[G]ing for the law
That's the [Em]general occupation
First [G]comes the public safety
[Em]Second comes the nation
You [G]won't believe me now
But there's been [Em]some illumination
The [Am]wisest cops have [G]realized
They fucked [Em]the operation
[Bm][D]

[Interlude 3]
[Em]
[A][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]Cooking up the books
A re[Em]spected occupation
The [G]anchor and foundation
of [Em]multi- corporations
[G]They don't believe in crime
They [Em]don't know that it exists
But to understand
What's [G]right and [Em]wrong
The [Bm]lawyers [Em]work in shifts

[Verse 6]
[Em]
'N [G]speaking of the devil
He [Em]ain't been seen for years
'Cept [G]every twenty minutes
He zoom[Em]s between me ears
I [G]don't believe in books
But I [Em]read all the time
[A]For ciphers to [G]the riddles
An' reasons [Em]to the rhymes

[Outro 1]
[B][Bm][D][Em]
