     And now you're searching for that new messiah 
           B 
It's your greatest passion 
D                           A 
To set 'em up and knock 'em down 
                        F#m 
Put him on a pedistal, idolitrary 
           B 
Wear that ring you're married

It all yours to their envy 
                        F#m 
Cause you hold a higher key of senses 
         B 
They are drawn like magnets 
      D                E 
To a genius it's confirmed

Set him up and knock him down 
                  D          B 
And your taste is so accountable 
     A     C#         F#m 
But this is no great loss 
     F#m    D           E 
And sharing never was a choice 
 C#           F#m 
Burning on a cross 
            D            B 
Gives your credit and a voice 
A       C#          F#m         D         E                  A  A 
Here to relay your beautiful ideals vicariously through them

And when he died too many sympathetic 
         B 
They are all pathetic 
       D               A 
You dethrone your king 
        F#m                 B 
Without listening, without ever listening
