lyrics

The Emperor Is Naked Jan Hauenstein

(Am) (Em) (F) (G) (Am) (Em) (C) (D)
(G) Your mind is so (D)ugly,
I (Em)marvel (D)at the (Em)hollow (C)empty (Em)spaces.
No (Fj7)brain, no heart, no soul and yet you (G)speak.(D)
And your (G)face turns so red, so (D)very very red,
And (Em)when you (D)scream so (Em)loud,(C) your (Em)face is
A (Fj7)big balloon, so swollen,
So purple, sweating, and so wondrous (G)fair,
The (B7)echo´s rolling thunder rends the (Em)air. (Bb6) (Em) (Bb6)

I (Am)often wonder (Em)will it burst
When you (Am)put down humans
Be(F)cause of their gender or the (Em)color of their skin,
When you (Am)slake your listeners´ (Em)burning thirst
For (Am)racial slurs and (F)for their craving
To feel (Em)better than they are.
My (G)country great, my (Am)country first,
And the (F)fat-faced beer bellies (G)roll off to the (Am)bar. (Em) (F) (G)
(Am) (Em) (C) (D)

(G) Your mind is so (D)beautiful
For the (Em)ugly-(D)hearted, the (Em)losers, the (C)weepers(Em)
Whose (Fj7)lives have never started,
Who are (G)lost in a dream
Of what (D)never has been,
For the (Em)would-b(C)es who (Em)never will be
As (Fj7)great as the dream that they (G)barely can see,
The (B7)ones who have no compassion, no (Em)empathy. (Bb6) (Em) (Bb6)

I (Am)often wonder (Em)how their minds feel
When you (Am)try to make sense, and it´s so (F)hard for you to do,
When you (Em)wriggle like an eel that (F)feels the evil steel
Of (G)hook, line and sinker of (Am)simple common sense,
And you (F)always jump that fence
That di(G)vides the good and the (Am)bad, and you (Em)always screw
The (F)ones so content with your (Em)all-too-easy answers.
No (B7)brain, no heart, no soul, so they follow (Em)you.
(Am) (Em) (F) (G) (Am) (Em) (C) (D)

(G) Your mind is so (D)ugly,
I (Em)marvel (D)at the (Em)stupid (C)things you (Em)say,
And I (Fj7)often wonder how you deal
With the (G)venom in your heart and the (D)poison in your soul,
Your (Em)lack of (C)feeling for (Em)what is real,
Your (Fj7)failure to see how (G)desperate lives can be.
When you (Em)look in the mirror, (C)can you see
The (D)roaring bully´s inse(Em)curity?
The (B7)emperor is naked to(Em)day. (Bb6) (Em) (Bb6) (Em) (Em9) (Em)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
