On The Hook

[Intro]
E5
 
 
[Verse 1]
A dead silver spoon with needles in his skin
Rode a pale horse down from Afghanistan
Tears in the suburbs ,mothers praying for their damned
Death has crept into their zone of the promised land
 
 
[Bridge]
D5
  But just before each plague
The clearest prophecies
Pandora's box in backwoods pharmacies
 
 
[Chorus]
E5
  A contract to die
                   F5
Prescription for a homicide
G5             F5
  A generation on the hook
E5                F5
  Addicted and commodified
D5 G5                   F5      E5
     Prescription for a homicide
 
 
[Verse 2]
Narcotic economics for the miner's sons
The seams went bust so long a-go with nowhere else to turn
Strip mine the veins, drill the abscess dry
Incentives for the architects of their genocide
 
 
[Bridge]
D5
  We've seen this all before
In a different shade
The Dark Alliance shifts to the modern age
 
 
[Chorus]
E5
  A contract to die
                   F5
Prescription for a homicide
G5             F5
  A generation on the hook
E5                F5
  Addicted and commodified
D5 G5                   F5
     Prescription for a homicide
 
 
[....]
E5                   F5
  Prescription for a homicide
D5 G5                      F5
     They're never worth a second look
E5                F5
  Addicted and commodified
D5 G5                        F5      E5
     Your prescription for a homicide
 
 
[Interlude]
F#5
   A contract to die
A contract to die
A contract to die
 
 
[Verse 4]
A contract to die
Die, die, die, die
 
 
[Verse 5]
Hippocratic hypocrites
Breaking oaths and cashing checks
Wrote an ocean's worth of ink
Scripting a nation's disease
 
 
[Verse 6]
A systematic business plan
To broker death, increase demand
So flood the ghetto and starve the hills
Kill them all with crack and pills
 
 
[Outro]
D5
Kill them all
Kill them all
