I didn't read the film
But I watched the book
Your eyes were dressed
In a vacant look
These reputations
They're all built on dust
In the hollowed out
Catacombs of lust
Were the voices in the background
A cacophonic plot
To make me lose my [A]balance
And miss my [A]shot?
What was [Am7]set into [C7]motion
Was a moment of haste
When the city scum
Burned down the whole damn place
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The scene near by
It’s a violent one
Where they grade your papers
With a loaded gun
You see, we seem [A]ɾeal high
Yet the pilot won
We stuck around
And now it’s overdone
So can you [A7stay for [Dm7]an hour?
I've got [Fm7]minutes to [C7]waste...
You move with such
A vibrant grace
And if we stay
It doesn't matter
We've got [Fm7]minutes to [C7]chase
We move at such a violent pace
Were the voices in the background
A cacoρhonic plot
To make me lose my [A]balance
And miss my [A]shot?
What was [Am7]sent into [C7]motion
Was a moment of haste
When the city scum
Burned down the whole damn place
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The scene near by
It’s a violent one
Where they grade your paper
With a loaded gun
You see, we seem [A]ɾeal high
But the pilot won
We stuck around
But now it’s overdone
So can you [A7stay for [Dm7]an hour?
I've got [Fm7]minutes to [C7]waste
You move with such
A vibrant grace
What was [Am7]set into [C7]motion
Was a moment of haste
When the City Scum
Burned down the whole damn place
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
