Antichrist Television Blues  Arcade Fire



[G]Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
No I don't Wanna work in the building downtown
[C]I don't know what I'm gonna do
[G]Cuz the planes keep crashing on us two by two
[D]Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
No I d[C]on't wanna see you when the planes hit the ground [G]

[G]Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
[C]Parking the cars in the underground
[G]Their voices when they scream, well they make no sound
[D]I wanna see the cities rust
[C]and the trouble makers riding on the back of the bus

[G]Dear god i'm a good christian man
In your glory, I know you understand
[C]You gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
[G]My girl's thirteen but she don't act her age
[D]She can sing like a bird in a cage
[C]Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!

[G]You know that i'm a god fearing man
You know that i'm a god fearing man
[C]well i just gotta know if it's part of your plan
[G]to seat my daughters there by your right hand
[D]I know that you'll do what's right Lord
For they [C]are the lanterns and you are the light [G]


[C]   Now i'm overc[G]ome
[C]   By the light of d[G]ay
[C]my lips are near but my h[G]eart is far away
[C]   tell me what to s[G]ay
[C]       I'll be your mouthpiece!
[G]Into the light of the bridge that burns
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
[C]Into the black of a starless sky
I'm s[G]taring into nothing and i'm asking you why:
[D]Lord will you make her a star So th[C]e world can see who you really are

[G]Little girl, you're old enough to understand
You'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land
[C]Men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
[G]So you better just stay close and hold on to me
[D]If my little mockingbird don't sing
[C]Well then daddy won't buy no diamond ring

[G]Dear god would you send me a child
oh god would you send me a child
[C]Cuz i wanna put it up on the tv screen
[G]so the world can see what your true word means
[D]ill know it when you send me a sign
[C]cuz i just gotta know if i'm wastin' my time! [G]


[C]   Now i'm overc[G]ome
[C]   By the light of d[G]ay
[C]my lips are near but my h[G]eart is far away
[C]   Now the war is wo[G]n
[C]   How come nothing tastes good?
[G]oh you're such a sensitive child
you know you're such a sensitive child
[C]I know you're tired, but it's alright
[G]just need you to sing for me tonight
[D]you can have your day in the sun
[C]you know god loves the sensitive ones

[G]oh my little bird in a cage
oh my little bird in a cage
[C]I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
[G]Show the men that you're too old for your age
[D]Now ain't the time for fear
[C]But if you don't take it, it'll disappear!


[G]Oh my little mockingbird sing
Oh my little mockingbird sing
[C]I need you to get up for me on the stage for me honey
[G]Show the men it's not about the money
[D]Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
[C]so that they can see themselves inside my little girl

[G]Do you know where i was at your age?
Any idea where i was at your age
[C]I was was working downtown for the minimum wage
[G]and I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away
[D]I'm through being cute, I'm through being nice
[C]Tell me lord am I the anti-christ?!
