Intro: Em-G-Em-D-Em-- x8 D-A


Verse 1:
Em                               D A
  Raise your hands now to testify
Em                                  D A
  Your confessions will be crucified
Em                            D Am
  You're a sacrificial suicide
Em                           D    A
  Like a dog that's been sodomized
Em  G   Em D   Em
  [Stand   up!]  all the white boys
Em G  Em D     Em
  [Sit   down!]  all the black girls
Em G Em D Em
            You're the soldiers
Em G Em D Em       Dm  A
            of the new world


Refrain 1:
B                            D A
  Put your faith in a miracle
B                            D A
  And it's non-denominational
B                                  D A
  Join the choir we will be singing
B                  D
  In the church of wishful thinking


Chorus 1:
  E            G
A fire burns today
   A             C   B
Of blasphemy and genocide
    E           G
The sirens of decay
     A              C     B
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Verse 2: Bass Lines
Em            G               B
  Oh bless me lord for I have sinned
Em            G                B
  It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
Em           G                B
  I threw my crutches in "the river
Of a shadow of doubt"
Em            G             B      pause D A
  And I'll be dressed in my Sunday best


Refrain 2:
B                            D A
  Say a prayer for the family
B                         D A
  Drop a coin for humanity
B                                  D A
  Ain't this uniform so flattering?
B                     D
  I never asked you a god damned thing

Refrain 3:
B                                      D A
  I want to know who's allowed to breed
B                                     D A
  All the dogs who never learn to read
B                       D A
  Missionary politicians
B                 D
  And the cops of a new religion
