Intro 1
(E major) (D major)
James (D minor) Jesus
Verse 1
(F major) Angleton sells (D minor)
(G major) sunlamps door to door
In this so- (D major) called peacetime,
(D minor) even spooks (F major) fight to stay alive (D minor) (G major) (D major)
I (D minor) don't much like (F major) him,
(D minor) but I sit (G major) and mind his car
He says,
(D major) (D minor) (F major) "Brunceling, where to (G major) now?
This (D major) (D minor) (B flat major) (F major) global
suburb's ours..."
(G major)
Verse 2
(D major)
They said "ad (D minor) apt," (F major) and,
sometime (D minor) back (G major) , I think I snapped
But it's no (D major) big deal,
(D minor) I would (F major) not trade my (D minor) luck (G major) (D major)
I have no (D minor) sys (F major) tem now,
I just drift (G major) until I'm (D major) (D minor) (B flat major) (F major) found;
"Brunceling, hand me (D minor) down (G major)
a (D major) new (D minor) slogan", (F major) now:
(D minor) PENURY (G major) HAS SET US FREE!
(D major) NOTHING, (E major) (D major) (E major) NOTHING,
NOTHING (D major) IS (E major) TRUE
An as (B minor) sassin's bullet which
has lodged in my neck
Picks up (F sharp minor) Radi (E major) o Kabul and it bores (F sharp major)
me (E major) to death- - (D major) (E major) (D major) (E major)
NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING IS TRUE (D major)
"I know (D minor)
Verse 3
(F major) Khomeini, John Wilkes (D minor)
Booth (G major) and the Jackson 5,"
The (D major) old man roared as (D minor) I
poured (F major) him into (D minor) his (G major) bed,
"Why, (D major) they control the (D minor) bour (F major) bon runs (D minor) from
Bia (G major) lystok to Brunei! (D major) (D minor)
(F major) Brunceling, you're like
(D minor) me," (G major) he said
"They fear (D major) us (B flat major) cause (F major)
we (D minor) accept (G major) no blame
And we're too fucking old to change.
(B minor) Too many hatreds for making amends.
Too many favours for friends
of dead friends.
Oh, their (A major) mumbled thanks
came cheap to them.
Too (B minor) many marksmen on the knolls,
Too many alibis always to hold,
I'm a sad (A major) old joke; for (G major) get I spoke..." (A major)
(G major) (A major)
Interlude 1
(G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
Verse 4
(B minor) OPEN THE VEIN, OPEN THE VEIN,
OPEN THE VEIN, WIDER THE VEIN
Let (A major) in more rain, let in more rain
SEVER (B minor) THE PHONELINE, SEVER THE HEAD,
SEEING IN WHITE, GREEN, YELLOW AND RED
I (A major) think he's dead, I (G major) think he's dead
(D major) Nothing, (E major) nothing,
(D major) (E major) nothing (D major) (E major) (D major) (E major) is true
Verse 5
Old (B minor) friends now reject me for
misjudgements I've made
Some are in (E major) power,
some in flyover graves
Nothing, nothing, nothing is true
And tell me, stiff, whose little baby were you?
