_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [G] You gentlemen [D] who think you [A] have a mission to [D] _ _ _ [A] purge us of the seven deadly [Gm] sins
_ _ _ [Dm] _
Should [Bbm] first sort [F] out the [Gb] basic food position
[Bm] _ Then [C] start your preaching
[D] _ That's where it [G] begins
_ [D] _
_ [G] You lot who [D] preach restraint and watch your [A] waste as well
_ [A] Should learn for [D] once the way the [Eb] world is run
[Bb] _ _ However [Db] much you twist _ or whatever [F] lies that you [C] tell _
[F] Food is the first thing
[C] _ _ [Bbm] Morals follow [F] _ on
[Eb] So [Ebm] first make [Bbm] sure that those who [Db] are now [C] starving _
Get [F] proper helpings
When [Bbm] we all start carving

The [F] threat that [E] billions
[Eb] _
Of [Ab] daily tortured, [D] stifled, punished, [Dbm] silenced and oppressed
_ _ [B] Mankind can [Gbm] keep alive
[B] _ Thanks [F] to its brilliance
[Dm] _ _ _ _
And _ [E] keeping its

[Gb] Humanity [D] repressed
_ _ [Gm] Well for once you must [F] _ [Eb] try not to [D] shrink
[Gm] For that _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Gm] mankind _ [F] is kept _ [Eb] _ alive by
