Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
All is quiet on the Western front
There appears to be a lull
Oh John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight
With little thoughts inside their skulls
Salome she's undressed to the nines
And although a few pounds fatter
She got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists
She coming at you with her platter
They're building a new gallows
When you show up on the streets
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
Gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden
Salutation so well
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
Repeat Intro: - - - - - - -
I stole down to the waterfront
To escape the desert heat
Oh what on earth you gotta do around here
To try and get yourself a drink
Heard John the Baptist preaching
He said "Make way for the King
But if you wanna recognize him
You gotta tell me all your sins"
They're building a new gallows
When you show up on the streets
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
Gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden
Salutation so well
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
I've been trying to negotiate peace
With my own existence
She got stockpiles full of weaponry
She breakin' every cease-fire agreement
Oh the whole thing is full of decay
As sure as I'm made of dust
Oh but in the rust I hear the beast is calling
They're building a new gallows
When you show up on the streets
Oh they're polishing the electric chair
Gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden
Salutation so well
"Final Stop! No points beyond Struggleville
Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
