[Intro]
Dm A# A A#
[Verse]
Dm
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
A#
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
A
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
A#
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
Dm
And after a while you can work on points of style
A#
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
A
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
A#
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
[Instrumental]
Dm A# A A#
[Verse]
Dm
You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
A#
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
A
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the sand
A# Dm
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
[Instrumental]
A# A A# Dm
C Dm C Dm A# F D# F D# Dm C Dm A F Em
[Half tempo]
Dm C Dm C ... A# C A# C A# C A# C
[Guitar solo ad lib]
Dm C Dm C Dm C A# C A# C Dm A F Em
[Bridge]
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
Dm C Dm C Dm A# A
And as the fear grows the bad blood slows and turns to stone
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
C A# C A# C Dm A
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
F A Dm
Dragged down by the stone
[Interlude]
A#
[Tempo I]
[Verse]
Dm
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
A#
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
A
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
A#
If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out of the maze
Dm
Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending
A#
That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend
A
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
A#
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
F C Dm
Who was born in a house full of pain
C F C Dm
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
C F C Dm
Who was told what to do by the man
C F C Dm
Who was broken by trained personnel
C F C Dm
Who was fitted with collar and chain
C F C Dm
Who was given a pat on back
C F C Dm
Who was breaking away from the pack
C F C Dm
Who was only a stranger at home
C F C Dm
Who was ground down in the end
C F C Dm
Who was found dead on the phone
C F C A# A
Who was dragged down by the stone
F A Dm
Who was dragged down by the stone
