[INTRO]
E .
E I knew one day I'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down
E I just didn't expect them to be such losers
[VERSE ONE]
E I have never seen submission embodied half so well
C#m As in the feeble competition between men with souls to sell
A And I've never seen a guard dog with less fearsome of a bite
Am Than with its tail between its legs found at the rich man's side
E Look at him, he's sweating, he's sweating from the climb
C#m Office worker, soldier, CEO, hе's bleedin' and he's blind
A And I have nevеr seen a creature more pitiful than him
Am He drinks power like saltwater, all because he cannot swim
[CHORUS]
C#m A Mouths open, servants of a higher power
E G#m They told him, "It's a staircase, it's a tower"
A C#m Full circle, wagging tails, wearing a collar
E A Poor madman, that's what happens when you drink saltwater
[VERSE TWO]
E Burned your tongue too early and realised too late
C#m The tragedy of losin' everything you'll never taste
A The clearness of the river, the honey on her tongue
Am Door opened to communion, bein' your father's son
E And I would not expect you to witness what we know
C#m The songs sung in the dark times, the fire and the snow
A We'll be piling up our pyre and defend your lords
Am And we'll have our joy, and it'll never be yours
[CHORUS]
C#m A Mouths open, servants of a higher power (Higher power)
E G#m They told him, "It's a staircase, it's a tower
A C#m Full circle, wagging tails, wearing a collar (Wearing a collar)
E A Even the dogs know not to drink saltwater
[BRIDGE]
E C#m Good boy! You're working exactly as intended
C#m A Has the penny dropped? You're never gonna get it
E Unrewarded for all of your defendin'
B From your loneliness epidemic
E C#m Good boy! Has any of the money trickled down yet?
C#m A You say one day you'll be rich? Well, tell me how then
A E Unpaid marketing department for the power
B Good boy, good boy
C#m Ah, good boy, good boy
[CHORUS]
C#m A Mouths open, servants of a higher power (Higher power)
E G#m They told him, "It's a staircase, it's a tower
A C#m Full circle, wagging tails, wearing a collar (Wearing a collar)
E A Even the dogs know not to drink saltwater
