          Am
Well, the cowboy came from out of the west

With his snakeskin boots and his bullet proof vest
Am
Gang of goons and his big war chest
E7                    D
Fortunate son, he was doubly blessed
D7
Corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff
                           Am     Am7
Bowing to the image of the golden calf
D
Starting up wars in the name of god's son
      E7
Gonna blow us all the way to kingdom come

   Am
Coalition of the fearful and the judgmental
  D                              C
Patricians, politicians, and the fundamentalists
    Am
You never have to tell them how the money's spent
    E7                                  D
You never have to tell them where their freedom went
D7
Homophobes in the high command
                                  Am    Am7
Waiting for the rapture like it's Disneyland
D
Hide all the bodies from out of view
E7
Channel all the treasure to the chosen few

BRIDGE:
D
If I could, I surely would
                        Am
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
D
Look out people, now we're gonna get fleeced
     E                                Am 
By a wolf masquerading as a man of peace

Am
Jesus said, help the poor and the weak
E7                           D
If he lived today, he'd be a liberal freak
D7
All the money changers would be out on the street
                        Am             Am7
Weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth
D
Me, I'm a-waiting on the reckoning day
         E7
When the whole world gonna rise up and say...
