F#m11....................................................E The barons of industry put inspiration on Hitler’s tongue
.F#m11...........................................................E. The next century crashed hard with a loud sound like a starting gun

Doctor Oppenheimer winced when he felt the broken piece of his pace-maker, Unbuttoned his shirt on a subway platform clutching his chest while his vision blurred, He saw the bane of his creation, the destroyer of the world, Yeah, truth can lead to solace or a life long bender, It’s like wading through a wasteland where a town you love once stood, You just cry each time you think of when times were good,
Napoleon’s tailor dressed him in a giant hat and funny platform shoes, Saying anyone can be a hero you just got to force people to look up to you, So when you’re talking on a hotline to a suicidal soul, Don’t let your voice sound like hot coffee more like a scented pillow....
