Key: D
Introduction:
D G DD4
Wash away... All the lines on your face that show how you've aged.
D G DD4
It's a long way down... Your back's been broken you can't make the rounds.
D G
The tables are turned as the litany goes...
G DD4
You're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt.
D G DD4
On your knees..... and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed.
CHORUS
D G
Turn back the hands on the clock
DA
You're a bitter old man who's done nothing but work.
D G
Your hands to the bone on the assembly lines
DA
You've grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love
D G
Ignorance is something you can't overcome
DA
but you've past it on down and that's something much worse
G DD4
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch
G
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch
Silent scorn… You've taken it out on the ones you adore.
