Antichrist Television Blues

(Antichrist Television BLues) The Arcade Fire 1-866 NEON BIBLE Kind of a long song strummy and use hammer ons 0h2 on the D string. I don’t wanna work in the building downtown No I don’t wanna work in the building downtown I don’t know what I’m gonna do Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two I don’t wanna work in the building downtown No I don’t wanna see when the planes hit the ground I don’t wanna work in the building downtown I don’t wanna work in the building downtown Parking their cars in the underground Their voices when they scream well they make no sound I wanna see the cities rust and the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus Dear God I’m a good Christian man In your glory I know you understand That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid My girl’s thirteen but she don’t act her age She can sing like a bird in a cage Oh Lord if you could see her when she’s up on that stage! You know that I’m a God-fearing man You know that I’m a God-fearing man Well I just gotta know if it’s part of your plan To seat my daughters there by your right hand I know that you’ll do what’s right Lord For they are the lanterns and you are the light    Now I’m overcome    By the light of day My lips are near but my heart is far away    Tell me what to say        I’ll be your mouthpiece! Into the light of a bridge that burns As I drive from the city with the money that I earned Into the dark of a starless sky Well I’m staring into nothing and I’m asking you why: Lord let me make her a star So the world can see who you really are? Little girl you’re old enough to understand That you’ll always be a stranger on a strange strange land The men are gonna come while you’re fast asleep So you better just stay close and hold on to me If my little mockingbird don’t sing Well then daddy won’t buy no diamond ring Dear God would you send me a child? Oh God! would you send me a child? Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen So the world can see what your true word means Lord would you send me a sign? Cause I just gotta know if I’m wasting my time!    Now I’m overcome    By the light of day My lips are near but my heart is far away    Now the war is won    How come nothing tastes good? [Solo Break] Oh! You’re such a sensitive child! You know you’re such a sensitive child! I know you’re tired but it’s alright Just need you to sing for me tonight You’re gonna have your day in the sun You know God loves the sensitive ones Oh! my little bird in a cage! Oh! my little bird in a cage! I need you to get up for me up on that stage And show the men that you’re old for your age Now ain’t the time for fear But if you don’t take it it’ll disappear! Oh! my little mockingbird sing! Oh! my little mockingbird sing! I need you to get up on that stage for me honey Show the men it’s not about the money Wanna hold a mirror up to the world So that they can see themselves inside my little girl! Do you know where I was at your age? Any idea where I was at your age? I was was working downtown for the minimum wage And I’m not gonna let you just throw it all away! I’m through being cute I’m through being nice Oh tell me Lord am I the Antichrist?!
