TRICKLE DOWN
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
| * = play chord with no 3rd |
E*
I. let's create a lower caste.
let's inflate the criminal class,
Aadd9*
'cause people only want more
Am/C E*
when they start with less.
Aadd9*
robbing nurses of their purses
G
'til the curse
E*
pervades this town...
Aadd9*
then you will learn
G
all about
E
trickle down.
E*
II. a voice in the dark resounds sharply,
shakes you in its teeth like shark feed.
Aadd9*
burning sticky wet bleed
Am/C E*
on your gown
Aadd9*
will show you a thing,
G
a thing about
E*
trickle down,
Aadd9*
will show you a thing,
G
a thing about
E
trickle down.
INSTRUMENTAL: like verse
E*
III. you say this is a fickle town:
"fear stalks the streets of Trickledown."
Aadd9*
and when you lie there
Am/C E*
veiled in sweat,
Aadd9*
you turn and reach for
Am/C E*
your tourniquet.
Aadd9*
you'll know dollars aren't
G
the only things
E*
that trickle down.
Aadd9*
and you will know
G
the truth about
E
trickle down.
