D#m         A#m          G#m      D#m
Ease your trouble we'll pay them double
        F#      C#         B  D#m
Not to look at you for a while
D#m       A#m         G#m     D#m
And you rely on what you get high on
         F#           C#         B      D#m C#
And you last just as long as it serves you

Chorus:
F#             C#/F               D#m
Explode or implode explode or implode
D            C#       F#
We will take care of it
F#             C#/F               D#m
Explode or implode explode or implode
D            C#      B
We will take care of it
B           A#m
Yes we will carry you

Cause you're deserted
What's good, you hurt it
And it kills you, it keeps you alive
So give it up
In a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all

Chorus:
Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

        F#     C#/F         B D#m C#
Can we do anything for you now?

Chorus:
Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you
