[Verse 1]
Em         G      Bm         Em
We are a servant, we have a song
     Em         G          Bm        Em
The side of a beehive, a tabernacle choir
Em          G      Bm       Em
We are the sound working in wars
     Em        G            Bm     Em
The bishop is gone to the acolyte shores

[Verse 2]
Em            G     Bm            Em
We save our Bibles, we pull our sleeves
     Em        G             Bm         Em
The word is a guard and the guard is a cleave
Em           G    Bm          Em
We are the right, we are the stay
      Em        G            Bm           Em   Em  G
The accolade's gone, we are what you will say

We are what you will say
        Bm           Em   Em  Bm
We are what you will say

[Verse 3]
Em            G      Bm          Em
We have no language, we have no chore
     Em         G           Bm         Em
The side of a beehive, the bride is a whore
Em         G    Bm        Em
We are a spite, we are at bay
      Em       G            Bm      Em
The spirit is life, we are what you say

[Verse 4]
Em          G     Bm         Em
We have a sermon, we have a song
     Em        G         Bm        Em
The bishop is easy, the bishop is wrong
     Em        G           Bm        Em
The spirit is right, the spirit will say
Em         G           Bm       Em
We are a light, we are what you say
        Bm           Em
We are what you will say
        Bm           Em   Bm   Em
We are what you will say
        Bm           Em   Bm   Em
We are what you will say

We are what you will say
