Verse 1
(D major) They tied
his arms behind his back
To teach him how to swim
They put blood in his coffee
And milk in his gin
They (D minor) stood over the soldier
(D major) In the (G major) midst of the (D major) squalor
There was war in his body

Verse 2
And it caused his brain to holler
(G major) Make the (D major) sacrifice
(G major) Mutilate (D major) my face
If you (G major) need someone (D major) to kill
I'm a (G major) man without (D major) a will
Wash the (G major) razor (D major) in the rain
Let me (G major) luxuriate (D major) in pain
(G major) Please don't (D major) set me free
Death (G major) means a (D major) lot to me (D minor) (D major)
Verse 3
The pain was lean (D major) and it made
him scream
He knew he was alive
He put a pin through the nipples on
his chest
He thought he was a saint
I've made love to my mother, killed
my father and brother
(G major) What am I to (D major) do
When a sin goes
too far, it's like a runaway car
It cannot be controlled
Verse 4
Spit upon his (D major) face and scream
There's no (G major) oedipus (D major) today
This is no play you're thinking
you are in
What will you say
Take the blue mask down from my face
And (G major) look me in the (D major) eye
I (D minor) get a thrill from punishment
I've (D major) always been that way
Verse 5
I loathe and despise repentance (D major)
You are permanently stained
Your weakness buys indifference
And indis (G major) cretion in the (D major) streets
Dirty's what you are and
clean is what you're not
You deserve (G major) to be (D major) soundly beat
(G major) Make the (D major) sacrifice
Verse 6
(G major)
Take it (D major) all the way
(G major) There's no (D major) "won't" high enough
To (G major) stop this (D major) desperate day
(G major) Don't take (D major) death away
Cut the (G major) finger at the (D major) joint
Cut the (G major) stallion (D major) at his mount
And (G major) stuff it (D major) in his mouth
