Pray for content, settle for free rent, the tenements recall Rome.
G                   A                              Bm                      Em

Verse 1:

Recite your lines,  and I'll quote scriptures.

Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges.

             C
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes.
C               D                 Em                            Bm                  C
Who knew?  Mind you. I never had to stand in line, you did...

Watch your step as you step down from the podium.
Em                                     Am                    Cm
                   Bm
Returned from the war to a hero's welcome, what's more you just had to win.
G         D               G                                 D
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience.
Em                    Am                             Cm

Held captive the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense.
