God said he'd revel in all his creations, 
       A                       G# 
Watch them go to war And he'd scramble to kill them 
    C#m                           
His children replied: "We'd just follow you, Lord 
     A                        G# 
We'd do nothing more We would beg for your hand" 
    C#m                              
The poor said: "You rich would take all that you want 
    A                          G# 
Do all that you could You'd do all that we can't"

The king aros "Why?" he said "All you could do 
           A                     G# 
You could celebrat me What's to celebrate for?" 
            C#m                     
They said: "Listen You take us to war And you've beat us 
     A                   G#                 C#m 
And killed us already So one day is one day more"

Fucking poor and obtuse My day would be mine" 
    C#m                         
The people they gathered with one day to live 
     A                     G# 
They met to decide what a day can be good for

A day like none other with nothing to forgive
