Am        G Am            G
Speak to me of universal laws
Am          G     Am                 G
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
F     C     Am         G
All around me people bleed
F         C  Am            G
Speak to me your song of greed

Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace

Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Just give us something to keep us trying

Chorus:
F           C              Am       G
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
F         C      Am     G
Too many people out of love
F           C              Am       G
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
F            C         Am        G
This city's ripped right to the core

Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence, the language of the heart

This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe

Chorus - x2
