Intro: Em 

         Em                       Am 
Bring me birds with broken wings, Men with all the answers, 
B                              Em 
People who have killed,Give me incurable cancers. 
          Em                             Am 
Bring me creatures baked in oil, Give me disregard for doubt, 
B                                         Em 
Street lights shine on broken Roads where no one is about. 
             Em                        Am 
I want that hopeless dream depression, Punishments without a cause, 
         B                      Em 
Give me impotent obsession, And disregard for laws. 
           Em                               Am 
I want the trees in single file, Bring the corpse of something rare, 
        B                                 Em 
Show me children who are sinners, Show me mounds of human hair. 

Am                               Em 
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son, 

Am                           Em 
An angel tried to stop me with a ram, 
                 Am                                 Em 
Well he said ?   your mind?s infected?, But I said ?you lack perspective?, 
B 
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top, 

Em                 Am           B              Em 
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da   
Em                 Am           B              Em 
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da   

        Em                    Am 
Give me poison I can swim in, Water I can't drink, 
 B                                        Em 
Wheels that won?t stop spinning, Teach my children not to think. 
            Em                                     Am 
I want the fruit that tastes like nothing, And two thumbs for every crook, 
         B                                Em 
Give me lessons without questions, Mild the days the books. 
       Em                    Am 
Give me metaphors unraveled, Poetry defined, 
            B                             Em 
Bring me the head of Dionysius, But please don't spill out the wine. 
         Em                                Am 
Trade the future for the present, Trade me ashes for my history, 
        B                              Em 
I don't need to look inside,I know the answer to the mystery. 

Am                               Em 
I climbed up the mountain just to kill my son, 
Am                           Em 
An angel tried to stop me with a ram, 
             Am                                 Em 
Well he said ?your mind?s infected?, But I said ?you lack perspective?, 
B 
You gotta walk the bottom if you wanna see the top, 

Em                 Am           B              Em 
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da   
Em                 Am           B              Em 
La da da da, La da da da, La da da da da da da da da da   

C                      Em 
Oh I know they call me crazy, 
C                      Em 
But there will be no turning back, 
Am                     Em 
I don't care if things get ugly. 
B 
Once the word of god is spoken, 
B 
There?s no way to take it back,
