I'm not leaving tonight

Cram the armour and chains where the sun will not shine

C
I'm not bleeding tonight

In the shadow of truncheons with smoke in my eyes

And the whole institution is rigged and the ship's going down

Galt, you can shake

And I'll watch as you bleed

Hey, you jackbooted sheep with your elephant caps

When you still get your meals from the trash?

To you bells in the curve

verse 4
C
In the heart of redemption, there's some furious song
F
And the herd is no place for the brave and the strong
C F
But I bear no contempt for the ones who just want to belong
C Dm
And these chosen whites are anaemic and small
C Dm
And are truly the lowliest sheep of them all
C Dm F
And their eminence is fixed upon things we could burn in one go
