                                              Am (x02210@1)And if Lot was righteous, I think I'd rather not be

                                         Am (x02210@1)It's a gang mentality, it's a dangerous thing

     C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)And I refuse to spend life on my knees

C (x32010@1)                                       Am (x02210@1)These billboards that flaunt these scare tactics
                           G (320003@1)    F (133211@1)Make me think you're only good if you're afraid of being punished
C (x32010@1)                                        Am (x02210@1)Every single Sunday, church bells wake me up
                 G (320003@1)  F (133211@1)But it's never enough to pull me out of bed

                            G (320003@1)         F (133211@1)It's so the Angel of Death passes over it on its way to get gas
C (x32010@1)The church on Broad Street
