[INTRO]
(Bm)(A)       (Em)
Pack up your things
     (Bm) (A)     (Em)
Your work here is done
  (Bm)  (A)    (Em)
A slave to the beast
  (Bm)(A)      (Em)
No mer-cy with time
  (Bm)(A)      (Em)
No mer-cy with time
 
[VERSE]
     (Bm)     (A)       (Em)
They brand you with the fire
    (Bm)      (A)    (Em)
And push you into the sun
              (Bm)  (A)     (Em)
They want the free land to expire
           (Bm) (A)       (Em)
They want every-one to be numb
 
             (Bm)    (A)  (Em)
The worlds drinking from a cup
    (Bm)     (A)     (Em)
That no one wants to share
(Bm)  (A)      (Em)
Words from the king
    (Bm)    (A)      (Em)  (slide to G#maj7+5) (C7)
That no one wants to hear
 
[CHORUS]
(Bm)
Don’t be running late
            (Em)
Are you on time to-day
(Bm)
Don’t be running late
            (Em)   (A)(Em)
Are you on time to-day
(Bm)
Don’t be running late
            (Em)
Are you on time to-day
(Bm)
Don’t be running late
            (Em)   (A)(Em)
Are you on time to-day
 
[VERSE]
(Bm)         (A)        (Em)
Retrench me because of machines
(Bm)           (A)     (Em)
Kids trading roses for guns
(Bm)         (A)       (Em)
Track marks under the sleeve
  (Bm)      (A)       (Em)
I can’t talk I need to run
(Bm)    (A)           (Em)
Loves thrown away the ring
(Bm)        (A)    (Em)
Not knowing what to say
(Bm)  (A)       (Em)
Momma won’t you sing
           (Bm)(A)      (Em)  (slide to G#maj7+5) (C7)
It’s like a cut by the blade
