Funeral Pyre

VERSE 


  D 
Down in amongst the streets tonight, books will burn, 

                                Am 
people laugh and cry in their turmoil 


Turmoil turns rejoiceful 

   D 
Shed your fears and lose your guilt, 

                                      Am 
tonight we burn responsibility in the fire 


We ll watch the flames grow higher. 



G 
And as I was standing by the edge, 


I could see the faces of those who left 

            Am 
 pissing themselves laughing 


and the flames grew higher 

G 
Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said 

       C                      F 
The weak get crushed and the strong grow stronger. 






VERSE 


 D 
We feast on flesh and drink on blood, 

                                     Am 
live by fear and despise love in our crisis 


What with todays high prices. 


  D 
Bring some paper and bring some wood 

                                            Am 
and bring whats left of your love for the fire 


And we ll watch the flames grow higher.
