Intro

(first time thru play the riff by itself, next three times with chords underneath the riff)
F B F B x 4

Verse 1

The young man held a gun to the head of God,
Stick this holy cow,
Put the audience in action,
Let the slaughtered take a bow
F B F B x 2

Verse 2

The old mans words, white hot knives
Slicing through warm butter
The butter is the heart
The rancid peeling soul
F B F B x 2

Bridge

A A A A x2
Scratch pictures on asylum walls
Broken nails and match sticks huh
Hypodermic, hypodermic, hypodermic, red fix

Turnaround

F B F B x 2

Verse 3

One mans poison is another mans meat
One mans agony another mans treat
Artaud lived with his neck
Placed properly in the noose
Eyes black with pain, limbs in
Clamps contorted 
The theatre and its double
The void and the aborted
F B F B x 2

Outro

Those indians wank on his bones... (Repeat until end)
