Verse
Cm
The world is an overflowing gutter
G#
It bubbles with the brine of shit and blood
Fm
And those who keep their eyes upon the heavens
G# G C#
Are the ones that end up faces down in the mud
Cm
It's easy to speak of grand ambitions
G#
Its easy to pretend you're innocent
Fm
But lest you get distracted by the suffering of your sister
G# G7 C#
Being practical and trying to pay the rent
[Chorus]
G# Cm
Heaven has been promised to the righteous
Fm D#
Hell's an overpopulated pit
A# G7 Cm G
Purgatory's given to the dreamers
G# G7 Cm
But the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Verse]
Cm
There's a special place in hell for fancy talkers
G#
There's a special place in heaven for the whores
Fm
There's a throne reserved for those with good ideas
G# G7
Stolen by the demagogues who wanted more
Cm
The flowers and the laces in the market
G#
Are all purchased by the peddlers of the flesh
Fm
But those who bring relief and carnal pleasure
G# G7
Sometimes serve the needs of mankind for the best
[Chorus]
G# Cm
Cast off the limitations of the righteous
Fm D#
There are good deeds only devils can commit
A# G7 Cm G
Let us dance between the teardrops and the angels
G# G7 Cm
For the world belongs to those who plow the shit
[Bridge]
G# Fm
At last the supreme maker decreed that this creature
G#
To whom he could give nothing wholly his own
Should have a share
G7 Cm
In the particular endowment of every other creature
Taking man therefore this
Cm
Creature of indeterminate image
G#
He set him in the middle of the world
Fm
And thus spoke to him
G#
We have given you, oh Adam
G7
No visage proper to yourself
Cm
No endowment properly your own
In order that
G#
Whatever price, whatever form, whatever gifts you may with
Premeditation select
Fm
These same may you have and possess
G#
Through your own judgement and decision
G7
We have made you a creature neither of heaven
Cm
Nor of Earth!
Neither mortal
Cm
Nor immortal!
G#
In order that you may
Fm
As the free and proud shaper of your own being
Fashion yourself in the form you may propose
G# G7
It will be in your power
Cm
To descend to the lower brutish forms of life
G#
You will be able through your own judgement and decision
Fm
To rise again to the superior orders
G# G7
Of life is divine!
[Verse]
Cm
The dead become the emperors of memory
G#
The saints have all been eaten by the worms
Fm
The living will write a twisted future
G# G7
And the sinners all have practical concerns
Cm
The sentinels with rifles on the border
G#
Of the pretenses of charity are swept
Fm
Oh but let's not talk of slipping into nightmares
G# G7
For the day is run by those who haven't slept
[Chorus]
G# Cm
So throw away the vestments of the righteous
G# Cm
Make sure the body armor snuggly fits
A# G7 Cm G
The souls are taken flight now from the birdhouse
G# G7 Cm
And the world belongs to those who plow the shit
