Déjà Vu (video)

G C

1. If I had been God

C

I would have rearranged the veins

in the face to make them more resistant

G

to alcohol and less prone to ageing.

C

If I had been God,

C

I would have sired many sons

and I would not have suffered the Romans

G

to kill even one of them.

D - Em C - G

If I had been God with my staff and my rod.

D

If I had been given the nod,

C G

I believe I could have done a better job.

C G

2. If I were a drone patrolling foreign skies,

C G

with my electronic eyes for guidance and the element of surprise,

D - Em C - G

I would be afraid to find someone home.

D

Maybe a woman at a stove, baking bread, making rice,

C G

or just boiling down some bones, if I were a drone. - - -

3. The temple's in ruins, the bankers get fat,

C

the buffalo's gone and the mountain top's flat.

D

The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites,

C - G

you lean to the left but you vote to the right.

G C

4. And it feels like déjà vu,

G C

the sun goes down and I'm still missing you,

G C

counting the cost of love that got lost.

D

And under my Gulf Stream, in circular pools,

C - G - C

there's ninety-nine cents worth of drunkards and fools.
