Gonna get reasonable soon
        G
Guess a man is no man
      D                        Em
If he doesn't have the beast inside

To destroy every inch of my soul

Take the gun off the wall

Put the lead in my soul

Lift the bones from my skin

Lay them out on the floor

Put the lead in my soul

Lift the bones from my skin

Lay them out on the floor

Don't count your chicken
  D                         Em
Before he crawls out of his shell
           Em
'Cause the firing squad waits
         D                     Em
And you know this so perfectly well

Our future remains

Pointless emotional games
