Watchin the de - coys of all descrip-tion - (goto #2)

sparkle of co - lour cre -ating diver - sion "

the liars are out they have all the a-ssets "

mi-ning for oil they were bleeding for gold "

fruit tas-ting bitter the lead in the air "

bu-tcher the womb and exp - ect her to bear (goto #3)

forests are fa- lling there's smoke in my throat ma-

chine over man and the mass over mind-

re-assu - rance from face on my screen app-

ointment with des - tiny for those who will run

out of the virus imm- u - nity comes !

out of the virus imm- u - nity comes !
