D A Bm ( Bm_A_G )
They will not remember this song
G A
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
D A Bm
They will not remember this song
G A
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
Verse (Riff#2)
D A Bm
I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking, I can't seem to see the seal we broke
G A
I refuse to recognize your views,
D A Bm
Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing", somebody shouted, "All is lost"
G A
But I can't buy that nonsense too
D A Bm
Way back when the prophecies began, do you think they really had a master plan
G A
Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
D A Bm
I don't know but it has occurred to me, the punishment that they threaten constantly
G A (A)
It's only real if they could just convince me
D Bm G A
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D Bm G A
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Caf. We're going down !
D Bm G A
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
D Bm G A
And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
D Bm G A
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
D Bm (B_A_G_F#_A~)
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
Verse (Riff#2)
D A Bm
So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
G A
Asses being led so far astray
D A Bm
And I won't claim to believe the things I read, black books or agenda magazine
G A
I'd rather see in shades of gray
