Verse 1
Dm 
The prison
is designed to break us down
C 
Am 
F 
Dm 
like the specimens in the zoo
C 
Dm 
Dangerous to each other,
C 
F 
till we all cuckoo cock -a -doodle -doo
Dm 
The poorest of us lick the jailer's dust
C 
Dm 
C 
off the heel of his iron shoe
F 
Dm 
The rich man picks his teeth each night
C 
G 
F 
Dm 
with the splinters of our pain
He throws them down a deep dark hole
C 
G 
C 
Dm 
that is filled with cheap champagne
D 
Dm 
He leaves the wake of lost and   forsaken
C 
G 
Dm 
in the murder of his campaign
F 
Em 
Ping pong in oblivion
Dm 
C 
Am 
F 
Dm 
Somehow we will survive
F 
Can you tell me how to overcome
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
D 
Dm 
C 
Dm 
the ravages of time?
The law grinds down,
the law goes down,
C 
Dm 
and the rich men rule the law
Three -piece suits and
tongues like tithes
C 
F 
Dm 
Trapped in the devil's claw
Satan is so much wiser now
C 
F 
Dm 
Than he ever was before
Slider on the radio
C 
G 
F 
Dm 
And there's a howl in my head
I need the joy of a melody
to get me up and out of bed
Somewhere beyond these prison bars,
D 
Dm 
the moon is turning cherry red
F 
Em 
Ping pong in oblivion
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Somehow we will survive
F 
Can you tell me how to overcome
C 
Em 
Dm 
D 
Dm 
C 
Am 
the ravages of time?
Dm

F 
Dm 
C 
Dm 
C 
F 
Dm 
F 
Em 
Keep on in oblivion
Dm 
Somehow we will survive
F 
Can you tell me how to overcome
G 
Dm 
D 
Dm 
C 
Am 
Dm 
the ravages of time?
F 
Dm 
Ping -pong in oblivion
D 
Em 
Dm 
Somehow we will survive
D 
Dm 
Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion
F 
F 
Can you tell me how to overcome
The ravages of time? you
