[Em][B][Em]
[D#][D][D#][G#m][Adim][Gaug][B][Em]
[B]

[Verse 1]
[Em]You gentlemen who think you have a mis[B]sion
to purge us of the seven deadly [Em]sin s
should [Gm]first sort out
the basic food po[G#m]sition
then start your [B]preaching,
that's where it be[Em]gins

[Verse 2]
You [Em]lot who preach restraint and
watch your [B]waist as well
should learn for all time how
the world is [Cm]run
However much you twist,
whatever lies [Dm]you tell[D]
food is the first thing,
[Am]morals [D]follow [Gm]on[D#]
So first make [Cm]sure that those
who now [D]are starving
get proper helpings when we all
start [Gm]carving[D#][G#m][E][Am]
What [D]keeps man

[Verse 3]
[G]kind alive?
[Em]The fact that mill[C#dim]ions
[Cm]are dail[C]y tortured[B], stif[Em]led, punis[B]hed,
si[D]lenced, [C#]op pressed
Mankind can [D#m]keep alive
thanks to its [D]brilliance
at [A]keeping [Em]its human[B]ity repressed
For [Em]once you must [F]not try [C]to
[Cm]shirk [B]the [Em]facts[F][Cm]
[B]Man[Em]kind is kept [F]alive by
[Cm]besti[B]al [Em]acts

[Verse 4]
[Em]You say the girls may strip
with your per[B]mission
You draw the line dividing art from [Em]sin
So [Gm]first sort out the basic
food po[G#m]sition
then start your [Adim]preaching,
[B]that's where it be[Em]gins

[Verse 5]
You [Em]lot who bank on your
desires and our [B]disgust
should learn for all time how
the world is [Cm]run
Whatever lies you tell,
however much you [Dm]twist[D]
food is [Dm]the first [D]thing, morals follow [Gm]on
[D#]So f[Gm]irst make su[Cm]re that those
who now [D]are starving
get proper [Dm]helpings when we all
start [Gm]carving[E][Am][Adim]
What [Am]keeps man
