INTRO
[Am] [G] [F] [Am7]
VERSE 1
[Dm7]
[Dm7] Will the King of Denver kindly [Am7] speak
He only does so in Ta [Dm7] jik
Still, nothing like compa [Am7] ny
[Dm7]
[Dm7] You seemed so lonely on your [Am7] own
Resenting comments on your [Dm7] home
Tooled-up sea to doped-up [Am7] sea
[Dm7]
CHORUS 1
[Eb] Burn those gui [Bb7] tars
[Eb] Let synthe [Bb7] sisers gently [G7] squelch [Gm7] [G7] [Gm7]
[Eb] Tear down the [Bb7] malls
[Eb] No steaks, no [Bb7] Marlboros, no [G7] pelts [Gm7]
As [G7] Rushmore weeps and [Gm7] starts to melt
[Dm7] You can’t argue with greatness, children [Am7] (make no attempt)
We’re the [Dm7] sinister [Am7] world govern [Dm7] ment
[Dm7] [Am7] (x4)
VERSE 2
[Dm7] English boys with skinny [Am7] jaws
Having fun with martial [Dm7] law
Brussels Eurocrats full- [Am7] armed
[Dm7]
[Dm7] Bible burners, papists [Am7] too
Arkan and his Belgrade [Dm7] Zoo
Roam round Milwaukee but they’re [Am7] easily [Dm7] charmed
[Dm7]
CHORUS 2
[Eb] If New Or [Bb7] leans
[Eb] Comes to look like [Bb7] Limerick, well, tough [G7] luck [Gm7] [G7] [Gm7]
[Eb] It’s time to [Bb7] pay
The [Eb] barcode on your [Bb7] forehead says how [G7] much [Gm7] [G7] [Gm7]
[Dm7] You can’t hide in a missile-silo [Am7] from the ubermensch
We’re the [Dm7] sinister [Am7] world govern [Dm7] ment
(Look out!)
INTERLUDE
[Am7] [G6]
“White Christian civilization” (x3)
[Am7] [G6] [Am7] [D]
[Am7]
CHORUS 3/OUTRO
[Eb] Oh can you [Bb7] see
[Eb] Black heli [Bb7] copters from the [G7] East [Gm7] [G7] [Gm7]
Annie [Eb] Sprinkle in the [Bb7] White House
[Eb] As Abu Ni [Bb7] dal paints it [G7] peach [Gm7]
Blowing [G7] up the bits he [Gn7] cannot reach
[Dm7] If you believe in devils [Am7] advancing to pollute
We’re the [Dm7] sinister – [Am7] and that’s the [Dm7] truth
[Dm7] And if you believe in gremlins [Am7] who never pay their rent
We’re the [Dm7] sinister world [Am7] govern [Dm7] ment
FADE
[Dm7]
