Intro: Am G Am G Am G Am G 

verse 1 
Am                          G     F 
Cynicism is the sickness of my culture 
      Am                       G    F 
We undress each other with an evil eye 
Am                          G          F 
Concentric circles we look like vultures 
        Am                             G           F 
When we feast on the failures of the lives we criticize 

Bridge 1 
Am                         G            F 
Don't stand alone and cast your stones at her 
Am                              G       F 
Unless you think you're innocent yourself 
Am                         G        F 
The measure that we use to condemn men 
           Am                              G       F 
Will be the same that's poured out upon our heads

G              A 
We've all gone astray 
D                     C        (F)                   G 
We kick against the pricks so convinced we know the way 
             A 
But who can repay 
     D        F                  G           A 
The love we sacrificed for an empire made of clay 
D    G    C    (C) 
No no, no no……. 
A    D    G     C    Am  G  Am  G 
No no, no no……. 

verse 2 
Am                                  G      F 
Self-promotions how we function in this culture 
         Am                               G       F 
We fight for the spotlight with a peacocks pride 
Am                                  G        F 
And then condescend to all the lesser men 
               Am                             G            F 
From thrones we make of payed accolades and a compromise 

Bridge 2 
Am                      G        F 
There is no power that a man can have 
   Am                         G        F 
Unless it's given to him from above 
  Am                  G           F 
Our ladders of success descend to hell 
           Am                                G            F 
Don't sell your soul and lose your one true love
