[Verse 1]
[Am]Swept
the floor of dreams
Live ones in the cracks
Crawling from the woodwork
Just to [G]break your mother's back

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hail the future king
No surprises left
Formula is widely know by chem[G]ists

[Verse 3]
And the minds they've blown

[Verse 4]
[Am]Count 'em 1 in 10
Can't hold on to those threats
Not- so- distant cousins
Of the [G]nails on which you slept
[D]Ama

[Verse 5]
[Am]teur contortionist
With pyrotechnic skill
This is not a mob you rule
It's [G]just the family barbe[D]cue

[Verse 8]
[Am]Standing on my [A]head
[Am]And [A]just in time to see
[Am]A promise in each pocket
And a li[G]ar in each sleeve
[D]The spoils [Am]have been crude[A]ly cut
[Am]In out of balance halves
Nothing left to peace or [G]calm
That explosions couldn't [D]bring[A][Am][A][Am][A]
