Release 
              Em 
The sword of Damocles

To the authorities 

          G 
We have been given 
             Em 
The same fortune cookies

You and I have

All of our progenies 

       G 
Raise kindness 
  Em 
Above all else 
          Am7 
Avoid the books of 
         D7 
Hatred behind the shelves

I will caress your 
            Em 
Caress your curly hair 
        Am7 
With affection 
                           D7 
Many a good reason to cut off your head 
Am7       G 
Then and then
