Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm not leavin
g tonight
Cram the armou
r and chains w
here the sun w
ill not shine
And who's to s
ay they won't
bitch out and
shoot me on si
ght?
Get that thing
out my face
I don't care w
hat it says, t
his is my godd
amned place
A traitor to c
ountry and gla
d, 'cause my c
ountry's disgr
aced
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I'm not bleedi
ng tonight
In the shadow
of truncheons
with smoke in
my eyes
You will close
in on madness
and madness i
s not civilise
d
There's no rea
son now
I'm not dumb a
nd you people
can't dick me
around
And the whole
institution is
rigged and th
e ship's going
down
[Chorus]
I'm cool to l
et Atlas drown
Galt, you can
shake
You can cry, y
ou can quake
You can rot in
your sleep
You can shrug,
you can weep
And I'll watch
as you bleed
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Hey, you jackb
ooted sheep wi
th your elepha
nt caps
I have come fo
r my shit and
I won't take l
ess than that
Why believe yo
u are full
When you still
get your meal
s from the tra
sh?
To you bells i
n the curve
I will love yo
u, but love no
t the powers y
ou serve
Do not grow co
mplacent and t
ake less than
what you deser
ve
[Chorus]
I'm cool to wa
tch Atlas burn
Galt, you can
shake
You can cry, y
ou can quake
You can rot in
your sleep
You can shrug,
you can weep
And I'll watch
Atlas bleed
And we'll laug
h as he shakes
And we'll go o
ff and breed
And we'll spit
on his grave
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
In the heart o
f redemption,
there's some f
urious song
And the herd i
s no place for
the brave and
the strong
But I bear no
contempt for t
he ones who ju
st want to bel
ong
And these chos
en whites are
anaemic and sm
all
And are truly
the lowliest s
heep of them a
ll
And their emin
ence is fixed
upon things we
could burn in
one go
[Outro]
I'mma let Atla
s fall
I'mma watch At
las fall
