Come make your complaint to the Bootleg Saint 

He's been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom 
						D5-E5
Black boots, brown skin he has chemical roots 

He's taking back the city one sinner at a time 

F#min  A         F#min      A      
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
 
B
He remembers a time when everything was alright 

We had water from wine, the streets were alive 
							D5-E5
Then old Captain Industry who sold his soul at Wounded Knee 

Bought himself a little property 

The Saint had found his enemy

He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog 
      E                                    A-B5
His rose-coloured glasses cut through the fog

Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye

He came down on a storm cloud hard as the Amazon rain 

Took him on, took him on and on 

And you can pay your respects in the form of a cheque 

He's taking back the city one sinner at a time

Between an everyman hero and a waste of time
