Am D
And it's the song of man
Am D
Slouching towards Bethlehem
C G C G
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
Am D
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)
Em C Em C D
[Verse]
Em C
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
G Am
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
G Am
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
C
They said, "You'd better look alive"
Em C
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
G Am
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
G Am
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
C
With four winds, levelling the pines
[Chorus]
Am D Am D
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
C G C G
She just can't remain with all that outer space
Am D Am D
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves
