 But your lives worth saving,
           E9
 We should start behaving

 Like the truth's been told by saviours through our time.

 Your downfall, you'll bring it on yourselves.

 Their scorn compounding my worst fears.

 Where's your love been sleeping?
          E9
 Has your heart been weeping
       Bm7              E7
 Over all unrighteous action in the world

 Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?
