Dm
Lining up all the numbers under the names
Lining up all the numbers under the names
            A#
Notify the next of kin of the circumstances
Was it an act of God or an accident
Act of God or an accident

Dm
Or a consequence of a lower profile
Salt of the Earth underpaid to serve you
                                          A#
Salt of the Earth underpaid to serve and teach
your children
                                           Dm
Salt of the Earth underpaid to serve and scrub
the toilet
                                           A#
Salt of the Earth underpaid to serve and scrub
the toilet ruling classes
Trickle piss from champagne glasses
That's just how the evening passes

Chorus:
        C         Gm
For a true doomscroller
                     Dm
And I'm a true doomscroller
                  A#
I can't seem to shut it down
                   C
Until the worst is over
                Gm
And it's never over

Arrogance of a coward hostile
Scum of the Earth overpaid to rob you
Scum of the Earth overpaid to rob
and mock resistance
Scum of the Earth overpaid to rob
anonymously from a distance
Scum of the Earth overpaid to rob
anonymously ruling classes
Trickle piss from champagne glasses
History on repeat relapses

Chorus:
For a true doomscroller

Dm                            Gm
Dog whistle links to a torch song
Dm                            Cm
Torch song links to a statue burning
Dm                       Gm
Moon landing links to Q Anon
Dm                             Cm
Rabbit in a deep hole keep on dancing

Either way we're gonna love you
          C
Never mattered

How many or how much more

You've been through

                        A#
Take this for the heartache

Not some cure to negate it

You've been through

Come back to yourself from the battle
