[Verse]

D#m
The world is an overflowing gutter

B
It bubbles with the brine of shit and blood

G#m
And those who keep their eyes upon the heavens

B A# E
Are the ones that end up faces down in the mud

D#m
It's easy to speak of grand ambitions

B
Its easy to pretend you're innocent

G#m
But lest you get distracted by the suffering of your sister

B A#7 E
Being practical and trying to pay the rent

[Chorus]

B D#m
Heaven has been promised to the righteous

G#m F#
Hell's an overpopulated pit

C# A#7 D#m A#
Purgatory's given to the dreamers

B A#7 D#m
But the world belongs to those who plow the shit

[Verse]

D#m
There's a special place in hell for fancy talkers

B
There's a special place in heaven for the whores

G#m
There's a throne reserved for those with good ideas

B A#7
Stolen by the demagogues who want it more

D#m
The flowers and the laces in the market

B
Are all purchased by the peddlers of the flesh

G#m
But those who bring relief and carnal pleasure

B A#7
Sometimes serve the needs of mankind for the best

[Chorus]

B D#m
Cast off the limitations of the righteous

G#m F#
There are good deeds only devils can commit

C# A#7 D#m A#
Let us dance between the teardrops and the angels

B A#7 D#m
For the world belongs to those who plow the shit
