 People, what have you done?
       Dm       C6     Am   B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6
Locked him in his golden cage,   golden cage
Am             B7/A       Dm   C6 Am B7/A
 Made him bend to your religion
      Dm     C6 Am          B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A Dm C6
Him resurrected from the grave,   from the grave
 
[Chorus 1]
A5  D            G
 He is the God of nothing
          C        G       Am  B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 A5
If that's all that you can see
    D              G
You are the God of everything
     C       G      D
He's inside you and me

Am  B7/A  Dm C6 Am  B7/A  Dm C6
 
[Verse 2]
Am         B7/A     Dm  C6 Am B7/A
 So lean upon him gently
          Dm     C6  Am      B7/A  Dm C6 Am  B7/A  Dm C6
And don't call on him to save
Am             B7/A     Dm  C6 Am B7/A
 You from your social graces
    Dm      C6 Am             B7/A Dm   C6   Am     B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
And the sins   you used to waive,   you used to waive
 
[Chorus 2]
    D                      G
And the bloody church of England
   C5       G5    Am  B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
In chains of history
  D                   G
Requests your earthly presence
       C5      G5   D5  C5 D5
At the vicarage for tea

[Verse 3]
Am         B7/A                Dm C6 Am B7/A
 And the graven image you know who
         Dm  C6  Am     B7/A Dm       C6 Am    B7/A  Dm C6
With his plastic crucifix,   he's got him fixed 
Am        B7/A             Dm       C6 Am B7/A
 Confuses me as to who and where and why
Dm    C6  Am          B7/A Dm    C6 Am       B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
As to how he gets his kicks, he gets his kicks
 
[Chorus 3]
   D              G
Confessing to the endless sin
    C5      G5      Am   B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A Dm C6
The endless whining sounds
N.C.      D                G
You'll be praying till next Thursday
           C5        G5      D5   C5 D5
To all the gods that you can count

Am  B7/A  Dm C6  Am  B7/A  Dm C6
              People, what have you done?
Locked Him in His golden cage, golden cage
Made Him bend to your religion
Him—resurrected from the grave, from the grave

He is the god of nothing
If that's all that you can see
You are the god of everything
He's inside you and me

So lean upon Him gently
And don't call on Him to save
You from your social graces
And the sins you used to waive, you used to waive

The bloody Church of England
In chains of history
Requests your earthly presence
At the vicarage for tea

And the graven image you-know-who
With His plastic crucifix
(he's got him fixed)
Confuses me as to who and where and why
As to how he gets his kicks, he gets his kicks

Confessing to the endless sin
The endless whining sounds
You'll be praying 'til next Thursday
To all the gods that you can count
