Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Pull  out your dead roots,
Pull  out your best suit.
It's  time to inspect the subjects.
Lose  your intentions,
Lose  all your common sense, it's
Time  to groom you for judgment.
Stick  to a numb stare,
Strip  to your underwear.
It's  time for you to be cleansed.
Keep  your eyes straight,
For  Christ's sake,
Remember  we're your friends!
 Good luck getting over  the fence.
 Good luck putting even  a dent in
 The mission,
The  plan
 Just breathe,
 You don't need  to understand.
Can  you hear me?
The  siren's on.
Let  the water run,
Leave  the lights  on.
An  ear for baby  if you need it.
Can  you hear me?
I'll  repeat  it.
 same chords as Verse 1):
 Draw the bridges,
 Dig the ditches deep.
 We're gonna need a new border.
 Get thyself in line,
 It's time for reassignment. It's
 Time for a new first world order.
 We got a job to do,
 We don't ask, we tell you.
 Work is freedom.
 Sloth is sin.
 So pull out your dead roots,
 Pull out your best suit.
 You know, the one they're gonna
 Bury you in.
 same chords as Pre-Chorus 1):
 Good luck getting God on the phone.
 Good luck getting even a tone.
 You can trust me,
 It's not a test,
 And I won't
 Leave you in this mess. Any questions?
 (You, in the back.)
 same chords as Chorus 1):
 Can you hear me?
 The siren's on.
 Let the water run,
 Leave the lights on.
 An ear for baby if you need it.
 Can you hear me?
 I'll repeat it.
