G#
Close the city and tell the people that
                       C# F#
Something's coming to call
G#
Death and darkness are rushing forward to
                      C#
Take a bite from the wall, oh
D#
You've nothing to say
They're breaking away

Chorus:
C#
If you listen to fools
     G#     C# F#
The mob rules
     G#     C# F#
The mob rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded
The end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and
Lose your hold of the flame, oh
It's over, it's done
The end is begun

Chorus:
C#
If you listen to fools
         C#m
The mob rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, they're breaking away
If you listen to fools

Break the circle and stop the movement
The wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and
Take you right back around

You're all fools
The mob rules
