[Verse 1]

G** F* F5
           Born from some mother's womb
G** F* F5
           Just like any other room
G** F* F5
           Made a promise for a new life
G** F* F5
           Made a victim out of your life

[Bridge]

E5
When your time's on the door
F5
And it drips to the floor
E5
And you feel you can touch
B5
All the noise is too much
E5
And the seeds that are sown
F5                                   E5
Are no longer your own

[Verse 2]

G** F* F5
           Just a minor operation
G** F* F5
           To force a final ultimatum
G** F* F5
           Thousand words are spoken loud
G** F* F5
           Reach the dumb to fool the crowd

[Bridge]

E5
When you walk down the street
F5
And the sound's not so sweet
E5
And you wish you could hide
B5
Maybe go for a ride
E5
To some peep show arcade
F5                                          E5
Where the future's not made

[Verse 3]

G** F* F5
            A nightmare situation
G** F* F5
            Infiltrate imagination
G** F* F5
            Smacks of past Holy wars
G** F* F5
            By the wall with broken laws

[Chorus]

G5** F5         G5**    F5
             The lea - ders of men
         G5**  F5
Born out of your frustration
        G5**    F5
The lea - ders of men
           G5**         F5
Just a strange infatuation
        G5**   F5
The lea - ders of men
             G5**        F5                 G5** F5
Made a promise for a new life

[Verse 4]

G** F* F5
            No saviour for our sakes
G** F* F5
            To twist the internees of hate
G** F* F5
            Self induced manipulation
G** F* F5
            To crush all thoughts of mass salvation

[Outro]
