[Verse 1]
Am F
So they say you're troubled, boy
Am F
Just because you like to destroy
Am
All the things that bring the
F
idiots joy
G
Well, what's wrong with a
E5
little destruction?
Am F
And the Kunst won't talk to you
Am F
'Cause you kissed St Rollox
adieu
Am F
'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two
G
Well, who gives a damn about
E5
the prophets of Tesco?
[Pre-Chorus]
C A#5 A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C
Fling out the fish and the
A#5 A5
unleavened?
C
Turn the rich into wine as you
A#5 A5
walk on the mean
[Chorus]
G
Well, the fallen are the
Am
virtuous among us
C G
Walk among us, never judge us
(Am)
Yeah, we're all blessed
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am F
So we stole and drank champagne
Am
On the seventh seal, you said
F
you never feel pain
Am
"I never feel pain, won't you
F
hit me again?"
G
"I need a bit of black and blue
E5
to be a rotation"
Am F
In my blood, I felt bubbles burst
Am
There was a flash of fist, an
F
eyebrow burst
Am F
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
G E5
I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood
[Pre-Chorus]
C A#5 A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C
Fling out the fish and the
A#5 A5
unleavened?
C
You turn the rich into wine,
A#5 A5
walk on the mean
C
Be they Magdalene or virgin,
A#5 A5
you've already been
C
You've already been, and we've
A#5 A5
already seen
[Chorus]
G
Well, the fallen are the
Am
virtuous among us
C G
Walk among us, never judge us
C
To be blessed
[Bridge]
G C
La, la-la-la
G Dm
La, la-la-la
F Dm
La-la, la-la
F G G
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Am F
So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
Am F
I never had a doubt you ever existed
Am
I only have a problem when
F
people insist on
G E5
Taking their hate, placing it
Am
on your name
F
Some say you're troubled, boy
Am F
Just because you like to destroy
Am F
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
G E5
I break this bottle, think of you fondly
[Pre-Chorus]
C A#5 A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C
Flinging out the fish and the
A#5 A5
unleavened?
C
To the whore in a hostel and
A#5 A5
the scum of a scheme
C A#5
Turn the rich into wine, walk
A5
on the mean
C
It's not a jag in the arm, it's
A#5 A5
a nail in the beam
C
On the barren Earth, you
A#5 A5
scatter your seed
C
Be they Magdalene or virgin,
A#5 A5
you've already been
C
You've already been, you've
A#5 A5
already seen
C A#5 A5
That the one who,
C A#5 A5
one who,
C A#5 A5
one who,
C A#5 A5
one who,
C
Well, you've already been,
A#5 A5
you've already seen
[Chorus]
G
That the fallen are the
Am
virtuous among us
C G
Walk among us, oh, if you judge us
C
We're all damned
