SONG LYRICS & CHORDS (M)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) / Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam) / Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)...

I see the signs, and I heed the call, / no one will know me, no one at all / Freedom is calling, the money's green,...

Starved for destination, a beggar man by trade / A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame / Friendless he appears, he hides behind his tears...

Selling well kept secrets for millions in gold / Playing with the phone get ready to blow / Launching into orbit I reach for the sky...

I'm your conductor, welcome to the station / Always got an empty seat, no need for reservation / There's no need to hesitate, come and step inside...

Can you see the battles on the earth below / Just another endless war / Can you hear the cries of every living soul?...

You've heard the message to many times / I pulled the trigger to bring you back in line / Cause I am stealing your mind...

Something's got a hold of me / I'm so addicted to the sound / Brain washed by the battle screen...

I'm a distraction of the highest order / Killing don't matter to me / Coming at you with a hidden agenda...

Sun sets in the west / The boy has gone to rest / Mama clutch her breast...

In the name of desperation / In the name of wretched pain / In the name of all creation...

Saint Anger ‘round my neck / Saint Anger ‘round my neck / He never gets respect...

I can't remember anything / Can't tell if this is true or dream / Deep down inside I feel to scream...

End of passion play, crumbling away / I’m your source of self-destruction / Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear...

Make his fight on the hill in the early day / Constant chill deep inside / Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray...

Slaves! Hebrews born to serve to the pharaoh / Heed! To his every word, live in fear / Faith! Of the unknown one, the deliverer...

Alright! / Scanning the scene in the city tonight / We’re looking for you to start up a fight...

Sight / Pale riders into the night / Galloping harder and faster...

So close no matter how far / Couldn’t be much more from the heart / Forever trusting who we are...

Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son, to include everyone / I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin till the sandman he comes / Sleep with one eye open...

Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane but the memory remains / Heavy rings on fingers wave / Another star denies their grave...

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end / No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend / Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all...

Pride you took, pride you feel / Pride that you felt when you’d kneel / Not the word, not the love...

New blood joins this Earth and quickly he’s subdued / Through constant pain disgrace, the young boy learns their rules / With time the child draws in, this whipping boy done wrong...

Little grave I'm grieving, I will mend you / Sweet revenge I'm dreaming, I will end you / I've been here since dawn of time...

Blacked out / Pop queen, amphetamine / The screams crashed into silence...

Hey! I’m your life, I’m the one who takes you there / Hey! I’m your life, I’m the one who cares / They! They betray, I’m your only true friend now...

And it feels right this time / On his crash course with the big time / Pay no mind to the distant thunder...

Breathe in / The Sun is rising / Fully rising on again...

Sweet refuge for creation / The last page, a relief / A sip on my champagne...
