The Press Corpse (acoustic)

 
              
Bm  
The Downing Street memo says... 
 
            Bm                                        
...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges 
D                                A 
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses 
Bm 
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice 
D                                A 
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice 
 
G                Bm     A 
We don't want to talk about it... 
 
Repeat 
 
G              Bm        G              Bm 
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night 
G               Bm                A                      
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue! 
G                               Bm       G               Bm 
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day 
 
G                   Bm    A 
We find the picture still askew 
 
 
                      Bm 
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it 
D 
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 
A 
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute 
G          A 
(Whoa ooh, whoa oh) 
Bm 
They don't want to talk about it 
D 
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 
A 
Wave the flag and cowardly salute 
G          A         Bm 
(Whoa ooh, whoa oh)
 
 
Same as Verses and Pre chorus 
 
Bridge 
 
Bm 
Fires fueled on endless lies 
D                  A 
Black shrouds coat desert skies 
Bm 
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led 
D                A 
As embeds report what they're fed 
 
G                Bm     A  
We don't want to talk about it... 
G                Bm     A 
We don't want to talk about it... 
G                Bm     A 
We don't want to talk about it... 
G                Bm     A 
We don't want to talk about it... 
 
G                        Bm             A 
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it 
G                        Bm             A 
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk 
 
 
                      Bm 
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it 
D 
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 
A 
Wave the flag and cowardly salute 
G          A         Bm 
(Whoa ooh, whoa oh) 
 
Bm 
They don't want to talk about it 
D 
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 
A 
Wave the flag and cowardly salute 
A       Bm       (End with) Bm 
(Ohhh, whoaaaa)
