[C] [F]
When you've got on a rich politician,
[C]
raised to color on the sun of the city,
blood on [F] the hands of an arrogant nation,
you start all the [G] bleeding over their policy.
She blamed [F] it all on whispering secrets.
She blamed it on [C] the moonlit sky.
[F] She thought she broke the facts, said it.
She thought, she thought she knew she had [C] died.
She changed directions with [Bb] a verified burn [F] letter.
[C] Raised the phone to catch her,
hoping [Bb] she'd possibly cry.
[C] Troubling on [Bb]
[F] [C] the crooked forehead,
angels [Bb] were laughing.
[F]
She had blood on her face, just had to get even.
She hemorrhaged and bled all [C] over the land.
[F] With blood on her hands, those that kept silent,
who woke up, bodies dead and [C] sick.
She changed directions [Bb] with a verified burn [F] letter.
[C] Raised the phone to catch her,
hoping [Bb] she'd possibly cry.
[F] [C] No one knows they fell on [Bb] the highway crawling.
[F] [C] Looking for an angel, but [Bb] they ran outside.
[F]
[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[Fm] So you can feast on your stories, but it won't stop the [C] bleeding.
When the truth is found, the houses surely fall down.
There's blood on the [Fm] mouths of all lies and liars.
The bloody red [F] eyes, the bloody red eyes,
the bloody red eyes, the bloody red [C] eyes.
[F] The bloody red eyes of the colonial clown,
the bloody red eyes of the colonial clown,
[Bb] the bloody red eyes [F] of the colonial clown,
[Bb] the bloody red eyes [F] of the colonial clown.
[C] She changed directions with [Bb] a verified burn [F] letter.
[C] Raised the phone to catch her, hoping [Bb] she'd possibly cry.
[C] No one knows they fell on [Bb] the highway crawling.
[F] [C] Looking for an angel, but [Bb] they ran outside.
[F]
[C] There's blood in the streets from the lies and liars,
the bloody red eyes of the [F] rodeo clown.
