D#                              C#
All hail, the jester has landed
D#                          C#
In flyover country he sings
G#                              B
Charmed like a snake in a basket
D#                                      C#
Should be curled up and ready to spring

D#                                      C#
We're raising our cross just to burn it
D#                                      C#
The clergy are selling their souls
G#                                      B
Clearing a path, ignoring the facts
D#                                      C#
Intoxicated by the throne

          B            F#          C#                G#
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may
          B            F#           C#
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave

D#                                          C#
When we all go deaf in the chamber of echoes
D#                         C#
Cheering the missile parade
G#                                    B
Agreeing to let all the banks rob the people
D#                          C#
Together we circle the drain

          B            F#          C#                G#
We'll be standing here holding our ground, come what may
          B            F#           C#
Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave

It's a game, you've been played
       F#
It's a flock, you're the sheep
       G#                       B             C#
It's a pied-piper song that has lulled you to sleep
       D#                        F#
It's a lie and you fell for it - hook, line, and sinker
  G#                            B            C#
A hand that you shook that then gave you the finger
  D#                  F#
A fraud and a fake, a cowardly king
  G#                        B              C#
A lie to your face, but you still kiss the ring
D#                     F#
This is the breakdown, this is the breakdown
G#            B   C#
This is the breakdown!

Like a ghost haunts from beyond the grave

And there's nowhere else to go
