Intro: Hm (It goes on for two rounds.)

Verse:

B5      D5
Eternal evil
B5
Yeah it stares behind the desk
B5                    D5
A shark dressed up in money
F#5               B5
Zombie secretary head

Pre chorus:
A5                    D5
I wasn't looking for control
A5                D5
Or for a hand to hold
A5     D5               F#5
I got arrested on the way

Verse:
B5             D5
I went for the police
B5
But they were all over town
B5          D5
For the fireengines
B5
But they were all upside down

Pre-Chorus:
A5                   D5
It's not because Im dirty
A5              D5
Not because Im clean
A5              D5         F#5
Read all about me in the magazines

Chorus:
D5
Innoncent in jail
A5
Guilty on the street
F#5                          B5
Notify the the people of my needs
D5
Why should they care
A5
With bitter eyes
F#5                       B5 (Let it ring out)
They've already paid the price

Money always takes the place of life

Verse:
B5                           D5
Yeah, do you see the running crowds
B5
And do they serve an unknown end
B5                    D5
If you live a certain place
B5
Do you hurt a certain way?

Pre-Chorus:
A5               D5
It's a cemetery city
A5                     D5
With a pace so boring slow
A5                 D5                   F#5
Looks like faded, crumbled secondhand clothes

Verse:
B5            D5
The flies are buzzing
B5
Feel a storm is coming on
B5                   D5
On the T.V a teenage landlord
B5
Hides his face and goes to court

Pre-Chorus
A5                        D5
It's the mouthpiece of a nation
A5              D5
With unhealthy gums
A5                      D5              F#5
It's hard to keep your head above the ground

Chorus:
D5
Innoncent in jail
A5
Guilty on the street
F#5                          B5
Notify the the people of my needs
D5
Why should they care
A5
With bitter eyes
F#5                       B5 (Let it ring out)
They've already paid the price

Money always takes the place of life

Chorus:
      D5
YEAH! Innoncent in jail

Guilty on the street
F#5                          B5
Notify the the people of my needs
D5
Why should they care
A5
With bitter eyes
F#5                       B5 (Let it ring out)

Money always takes the place of life

Money always takes the place of life
