[Bridge]
C5

[Verse 1]
I was  born in a cemetery
And learned to  walk on  skulls and  bones
Was  taught to  speak by the  living dead
C5
And raised  beneath  a funeral moon

[Chorus]
Db5 Eb5 Gb5 C5 Db5 Eb5
Horror stories,  talking  heads
Gb5 C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5
Segregate  the  living dead
C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5 C5
The living  dead

[Verse 2]
I’m a shadow on your brightest dreams
A horse for Baron Samedi
Pure voodoo, economic hell
I’ve come to pick your carcass clean

[Chorus]
C5
Db5 Eb5 Gb5 C5 Db5 Eb5
Horror stories, talking heads
Gb5 C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5
Segregate the living dead,
C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5 C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5
Horror stories, talking heads
C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5
Shilling for the thorough breds
C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5
Racial strife and rising debts
C5 Db5 Eb5 Gb5 C5
Segregate the living dead

[Verse 3]
I’m the resurrection man
A jackal in a threepiece suit
Death and taxes for the damned
Brought to heel beneath my boot
So chase that carrot straight to hell
The status that you’re dying for
And decorate your coffin well
The system is a graveyard
I’m Loki in the counting room
Trickledown narcotic doom
Superfunds for cancer towns
The bottom line is six feet down

[Outro]
I’m gonna bury you
I’m gonna bury you
In barren ground
Six feet down
Db5
Horror stories, talking heads
C5
The living dead
I’m gonna bury you
Barren ground
