[Dm]
[E]
[Dm] Welcome [Em] to Vile the Goliath.
[Dm] [E]
[Dm] [E]
[Dm] [E]
[A]
[G] I'm going to sing a song called The Rule.
The rule that said you [D] got to care.
[B] And you can [F#] always swear you're deaf, [A#] dumb and blind.
Works one [Dm] time, but nothing works forever.
[E]
[D] Now, if [F#] you've been listening, now you can [D] hear.
[E]
It's [Dm] the sound of the [Em] people, the footsteps running in fear.
[Dm] But if [E] you've been listening,
[Dm] you done heard, [E] and you done heard.
How the [Dm] people be [E] crying out for soothing [Dm] words.
[E] And you can give them the word [D] now, but don't [B] you despair.
There ain't no [C] rule that said you got [D] to care.
[E] You can [G] always swear you're deaf, [A#] dumb and blind.
[Am] [G]
[Am] This is the next part of the vocal.
I'd [D] like to fill you [F#] in on the way the [Am] Goliath [G] symbol [A] beat you today.
[C] Here's [D] the moves.
[E] [G] [A]
[Am]

[Am]
[A] [C] [G]
[A] [E]
[Am] I'm offering one [A] chance for you to buck it down.
[E] [C]
[Am] Yes, and the smack I got [Em] you need [A] is the best in town.
[Am]
I'm offering you a [G] chance [A] to dance [E] and sway.
[G]
[Am] Need you out of your mind.
I'm not here [G] when I [A] do my thing.
[Am]
All I want from you is your madness soul.
So [Em] come on, come [Am] on and cooperate with [G] me until [A] you get too old.
[C] [G]
[E] Until you retaliate against the [Em] fact that [A] you're mad.
[G]
[Am] And when [G]
[A] [C] you retire, you're very [B] own Jufa.
Life ain't nothing but a game.
Can [D] you tell [E] me who I am?
Red, [G] white and blue.
[A#] You're all the same.
[E]
No, you've been talking now.
[Dm] You don't say [E]
it's [Dm] just how surprised [E] you were about [D] a living day.
You were surprised that they could
[Dm] understand your [E] words.
Never [E] respond once to all truth.
You [B] get square.
Ain't [A] no [C] rule.
It's said [D] they've got to care.
[E] They can't [F#] always swear.
[A#] [E]
[D] Life ain't [E] nothing but a shame.
Can [C] you tell me [D] who I am?
[F] Red, [F#] white and blue.
[A#] You're all the same.

[D] [F#] Everything is [C] free here.
[G#] [E] Everything.
[C#]
[F] [Am] [C] Yes, it's true.
Speak the [D] pain with gold.
[C#]
[D] Not at the city, not [Am] my trees.
In the city, I live [G] independently.
[C#]
[A] [D] [C] Very close [E] to the same, couldn't you say, you know?

[Em] What about our many [F] trees, our heaps of [C] gold?
You [B] say you'll need me?
[D] [F]
[C#] [D] But where can you [Em] go?
There is nowhere [D] else to go.
[C#] This is all there is.
[D] This is the whole [Am] there is.
