[D] [A#m]
Which one is it?
Christ!
That could be 700 of them!
They're all good!
[F]
[A#] I sell your heart!
Maybe for [F] a buck!
For a buck!
[B] If you're looking [A#] for someone to put you on the duct tape, you're on a luck!
You're on a luck!
[F] Or a ship [C] is sailing away!
[F] The ship is!
The ship is!
The ship is!
And there's a leak!
[F#] There's a leak!
In the boiler room!
The poor, the lame, the blind!
And who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers!
Thieves!
Lawyers!
And [F] God's a man!
God's a man!
God's a [A#] man! And business!
[F] God's a man!
[A#] God's a man!
And business!
If [B] you look the deck with a shovel and a pick,
It's a job!
It's a job!
The golden moon arising with the plague and the flood,
Sowing the [Em] mob!
Growing the mob!
[F#] And it's [B] the world!
[F#] And it's [B] the world!
[F#] And it's the world!
And [B] there's a leak!
[G] There's a leak!
In the boiler room!
The poor, the lame, the blind!
And who are the ones we kept in [Bm] charge?
Killers!
Thieves!
Lawyers!

God's a man!
God's a man!
And business!
God [F#] damn, there's always such a big temptation to be good!
[G] To be good!
There's always three shepherds on those tracks!
It's a deal!
It's a deal!
And [B] God's a man!
God's a man!
God's a man!
And business!
God's a man!
God's a man!
And business!
I will lay [F#] all my eyes on [Bm] this man!
Maybe you [D] can intervene?

And business!
And business!
