1. demonic little love god

do you want to see me bleed

anarchistic little beggar man

now you want a piece of me

you're just a lot of talk

with not a lot of sense

(here comes) another slight attack

it's got you hanging from the fence

2. oh the tears will fall

and the tears will fall

you say these tears will was away

the stains

Verse :

3. you're just a chronic little liar

a sentinel of farce

integrity's a fairytale

it makes me wonder who you are

it's just another creed

shame it's gone to seed

here comes another slight attack

it could be the thing you need

Chorus

Bridge : Keybd. (arranged for gtr.)
