[INTRO]
(Bm)(A) (Em)
Pack up your things
(Bm) (A) (Em)
Your work here is done

A slave to the beast

[VERSE]
(Bm) (A) (Em)
They brand you with the fire
(Bm) (A) (Em)
And push you into the sun
(Bm) (A) (Em)
They want the free land to expire
(Bm) (A) (Em)
They want every-one to be numb
(Bm) (A) (Em)
The worlds drinking from a cup
(Bm) (A) (Em)
That no one wants to share
(Bm) (A) (Em)
Words from the king
(Bm) (A) (Em) (slide to G#maj7+5) (C7)
That no one wants to hear

Loves thrown away the ring

It’s like a cut by the blade
