Verse
Em
The world is an overflowing gutter
C
It bubbles with the brine of shit and blood
Am
And those who keep their eyes upon the heavens
C B F
Are the ones that end up faces down in the mud
Em
It's easy to speak of grand ambitions
C
Its easy to pretend you're innocent
Am
But lest you get distracted by the suffering of your sister
C B7 F
Being practical and trying to pay the rent
[Chorus]
C Em
Heaven has been promised to the righteous
Am G
Hell's an overpopulated pit
D B7 Em B
Purgatory's given to the dreamers
C B7 Em
But the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Verse]
Em
There's a special place in hell for fancy talkers
C
There's a special place in heaven for the whores
Am
There's a throne reserved for those with good ideas
C B7
Stolen by the demagogues who wanted more
Em
The flowers and the laces in the market
C
Are all purchased by the peddlers of the flesh
Am
But those who bring relief and carnal pleasure
C B7
Sometimes serve the needs of mankind for the best
[Chorus]
C Em
Cast off the limitations of the righteous
Am G
There are good deeds only devils can commit
D B7 Em B
Let us dance between the teardrops and the angels
C B7 Em
For the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Bridge]
C Am
At last the supreme maker decreed that this creature
C
To whom he could give nothing wholly his own
Should have a share
B7 Em
In the particular endowment of every other creature
Taking man therefore this
Em
Creature of indeterminate image
C
He set him in the middle of the world
Am
And thus spoke to him
C
We have given you, oh Adam
B7
No visage proper to yourself
Em
No endowment properly your own
In order that
C
Whatever price, whatever form, whatever gifts you may with
Premeditation select
Am
These same may you have and possess
C
Through your own judgement and decision
B7
We have made you a creature neither of heaven
Em
Nor of Earth!
Neither mortal
Em
Nor immortal!
C
In order that you may
Am
As the free and proud shaper of your own being
Fashion yourself in the form you may propose
C B7
It will be in your power
Em
To descend to the lower brutish forms of life
C
You will be able through your own judgement and decision
Am
To rise again to the superior orders
C B7
Of life is divine!
[Verse]
Em
The dead become the emperors of memory
C
The saints have all been eaten by the worms
Am
The living will write a twisted future
C B7
And the sinners all have practical concerns
Em
The sentinels with rifles on the border
C
Of the pretenses of charity are swept
Am
Oh but let's not talk of slipping into nightmares
C B7
For the day is run by those who haven't slept
[Chorus]
C Em
So throw away the vestments of the righteous
C Em
Make sure the body armor snuggly fits
D B7 Em B
The souls are taken flight now from the birdhouse
C B7 Em
And the world belongs to those who plow the shit
