Watchin the de - coys of all descrip-tion - (goto #2)
sparkle of co - lour cre -ating diver - sion "
the liars are out they have all the a-ssets "
mi-ning for oil they were bleeding for gold "
fruit tas-ting bitter the lead in the air "
bu-tcher the womb and exp - ect her to bear (goto #3)
forests are fa- lling there's smoke in my throat ma-
chine over man and the mass over mind-
re-assu - rance from face on my screen app-
ointment with des - tiny for those who will run
out of the virus imm- u - nity comes !
out of the virus imm- u - nity comes !
