       Gm
Your class, your caste, your country,
            D#
sect, your name or your tribe
         A#                           Cm
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
           A#                      Cm
There are bodies decomposing in containers tonight
     D#
In an abandoned building where

      Gm                         D#
The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
     A#                            Cm
With 15 cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
        A#                         Cm
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
      D#
Four winds blowing through her hair

Chorus:
                Cm      F
But when great Satan's gone,
              Cm  F
The Whore of Babylon
         D#       A#
She just can't sustain,
              D#         A#
the pressure where it's placed
     Cm         F
She caves. She caves.

The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf,
the Qur'ans mute
If you burned them all together
you'd get close to the truth still
They're pouring over Sanskrit on the Ivy League moons
While shadows lengthen in the sun

Cast all the school and meditation
built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences crossing property lines
Four Winds, cryin' 'til it comes

Chorus:
And it's the Son of Man,
Slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain
all of that empty space
It breaks. It breaks.
It breaks

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"

And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I buried my ballast. I made my peace
With Four Winds leveling the pines

Chorus:
But when great Satan's gone,
The Whore of Babylon
She just can't remain
with all that outer space
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves
She breaks

You better look alive
