Em        G        D         Em
We are a servant, we have a song
     Em         G         D          Em
The side of a beehive, a tabernacle choir
Em          G     D         Em
We are the sound working in wars
     Em        G            D      Em
The bishop is gone to the acolyte shores

We save our Bibles, we pull our sleeves
The word is a guard and the guard is a cleave
We are the right, we are the stay
The accolade's gone, we are what you say

Chorus:
         D             Em D Em
We are what you will say
         D             Em
We are what you will say

We have no language, we have no chore
The side of a beehive, the bride is a whore
We are a spite, we are at bay
The spirit is life, we are what you say

We have a sermon, we have a song
The bishop is easy, the bishop is wrong
The spirit is right, the spirit will say
We are a light, we are what you say

Chorus:
We are what you will say - x5
