Verse
Fm
The world is an overflowing gutter
C#
It bubbles with the brine of shit and blood
A#m
And those who keep their eyes upon the heavens
C# C F#
Are the ones that end up faces down in the mud
Fm
It's easy to speak of grand ambitions
C#
Its easy to pretend you're innocent
A#m
But lest you get distracted by the suffering of your sister
C# C7 F#
Being practical and trying to pay the rent
[Chorus]
C# Fm
Heaven has been promised to the righteous
A#m G#
Hell's an overpopulated pit
D# C7 Fm C
Purgatory's given to the dreamers
C# C7 Fm
But the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Verse]
Fm
There's a special place in hell for fancy talkers
C#
There's a special place in heaven for the whores
A#m
There's a throne reserved for those with good ideas
C# C7
Stolen by the demagogues who wanted more
Fm
The flowers and the laces in the market
C#
Are all purchased by the peddlers of the flesh
A#m
But those who bring relief and carnal pleasure
C# C7
Sometimes serve the needs of mankind for the best
[Chorus]
C# Fm
Cast off the limitations of the righteous
A#m G#
There are good deeds only devils can commit
D# C7 Fm C
Let us dance between the teardrops and the angels
C# C7 Fm
For the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Bridge]
C# A#m
At last the supreme maker decreed that this creature
C#
To whom he could give nothing wholly his own
Should have a share
C7 Fm
In the particular endowment of every other creature
Taking man therefore this
Fm
Creature of indeterminate image
C#
He set him in the middle of the world
A#m
And thus spoke to him
C#
We have given you, oh Adam
C7
No visage proper to yourself
Fm
No endowment properly your own
In order that
C#
Whatever price, whatever form, whatever gifts you may with
Premeditation select
A#m
These same may you have and possess
C#
Through your own judgement and decision
C7
We have made you a creature neither of heaven
Fm
Nor of Earth!
Neither mortal
Fm
Nor immortal!
C#
In order that you may
A#m
As the free and proud shaper of your own being
Fashion yourself in the form you may propose
C# C7
It will be in your power
Fm
To descend to the lower brutish forms of life
C#
You will be able through your own judgement and decision
A#m
To rise again to the superior orders
C# C7
Of life is divine!
[Verse]
Fm
The dead become the emperors of memory
C#
The saints have all been eaten by the worms
A#m
The living will write a twisted future
C# C7
And the sinners all have practical concerns
Fm
The sentinels with rifles on the border
C#
Of the pretenses of charity are swept
A#m
Oh but let's not talk of slipping into nightmares
C# C7
For the day is run by those who haven't slept
[Chorus]
C# Fm
So throw away the vestments of the righteous
C# Fm
Make sure the body armor snuggly fits
D# C7 Fm C
The souls are taken flight now from the birdhouse
C# C7 Fm
And the world belongs to those who plow the shit
