I knew one day I'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down
I just didn't expect them to be such losers
Verse:
I have[E]have never seen submission embodied half so well
as in the [Dbm]feeble competition between men with souls to sell.
And I've [A]never seen a guard dog with less fearsome of a bite
than with its[Am]its tail between its legs found at the rich man's side.
[E]Look at him! He's sweating. He's sweating from the climb.
Office [Dbm]worker, soldier, CEO, he's bleeding and he's blind.
And I have [A]never seen a creature more pitiful than him.
He drinks "[Am]"power" like saltwater all because he cannot swim.
Chorus:
[Dbm]Mouths open, servants of a [A]higher power.
[E]They told him "It's a staircase, [Abm]it's a tower!".
[A]Full circle, wagging tails, wea[Dbm]wearing a collar.
[E]Poor madman, that's what happens when you [A]drink saltwater.
Verse:
[E]Burned your tongue too early and realized too late
The t[Dbm]tragedy of losing everything you'll never taste
The cl[A]clearness of the river, the honey on her tongue
Door [Am]opened to communion, being your father's son
And [E]I would not expect you to witness what we know
The [Dbm]songs sung in the dark times, the fire in the snow,
We'll be [A]piling up our pyre, and you defend your lords
And [Am]we will have our joy but it will never be yours.
Chorus:
[Dbm]Mouths open, servants of a [A]higher power.
[E]They told him "It's a staircase, [Abm]it's a tower!".
[A]Full circle, wagging tails, wea[Dbm]wearing a collar.
[E]Even the dogs know not to [A]drink saltwater.
Bridge:
[E]Good boy! You're working exactly as in[Dbm]intended.
Has the penny dropped you're never gonna [A]get it.
Unrewarded for all of your de[E]defending
From your [B]loneliness epidemic.
[E]Good boy! Has any of the money trickled [Dbm]down yet?
You say one day you'll be rich? Well, tell me [A]how, then.
Unpaid marketing department for the [E]power.
Good [B]boy! Good [Dbm]boy!
B[A]Boy
Good [E]boy!
Good [B]boy!
Chorus:
[Dbm]Mouths open, servants of a [A]higher power.
[E]They told him "It's a staircase, [Abm]it's a tower!".
[A]Full circle, wagging tails, wea[Dbm]wearing a collar.
[E]Even the dogs know not to [A]drink saltwater.
