I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
                                  Em    Bm/D    A/C#                                    C                         G  
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
                                        Em  Bm/D  A/C#                                      C                                                                            G  
SHe spills w/ compassion, as that young child's face in her hands she grips
                                          Em  Bm/D      A/C#                 C                                                         G                 C  
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice coming down on that childs lips
                                                             G      D/F#    Em    D  
Well I hope you don't die too soon
                                C                                         G  
I pray the Lord my soul to save
                          Em  Bm/D  A/C#                 C                                      G  
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'll try so hard to behave
                                             Em  Bm/D    A/C#                                                         C                                      G  
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live long enough to savor
                        C      Bm      Am    G      Am                                      G  
That's when they finally put you in the ground
                  C         Bm  Am      G                      Am                                    G              D  
I'll Stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down
                D                                         Em                         D/F#                                            D  
When England was the whore of the world    Margaret was her madam
                                                                        Em                         D/F#                                        G  
And the future looked as brigh and as clear as the black tarmacadam
G                                                                                                                                                                                              C  
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn't haunted by every tiny detail
Am                                                            E/G#    G                                            D/F#                 Em                                    D  
Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands all she thought was betrayal
And now the cynical ones say that it all ends
