Verse 1:

A                                 Bm        D
  Music of a southern day and the nectar of brass
A                                      Bm             D
  Spilling into Congo Square where the queens used to pass
A                                 Bm          D
  There lies no greater place for one left to drift
A                                    Bm        D
  And there hides no greater lie and no bigger myth

Chorus:

Bm            D                 A
   And in the heat of crackdown   all is silent
        Bm       D                      A
Just before the match is struck and the   gas is poured along roads
Bm            D                  A                     Bm     D
   But in the heat of crackdown     all is silent underneath

Verse 2:

A                             Bm         D
  Gunned down in the drive a foreign exchange
A                          Bm                D
  Student from Japan whose fate it was shortchanged
A                        Bm                 D
  You saw it all when it made the national news
A                            Bm               D
  How the isolated incident occurred in Baton Rouge

Chorus:

Bm            D                 A
   And in the heat of crackdown   all is silent
        Bm       D                      A
Just before the match is struck and the   gas is poured along roads
Bm            D                  A                     Bm     D
   But in the heat of crackdown     all is silent underneath
A                         Bm    G
   It's a crackdown on beliefs

Middle part:

D           G
  Everyone watching
D                     G
  The events from the sky
D            G
  No bodies touching
D               G
  Don't wish to prize
         A
Into our own lives
         Bm    D
Into our own

Verse 3:

A                   Bm                D
  Terrorism terrify tear the truth in two
A                   Bm                D
  Seeks to paralyze weaken turn the screws
A                         Bm            D
  But only cowards could create the OK bomb
A                          Bm           D
  Cause no bomb is OK when there can be no calm

Chorus:

Bm             D            A
   And in the heat of crackdown all is silent
           Bm      D           A
While the voice of power over roars condemns the songs of
Bm      D            A                         Bm    D
   Innocence and finally it's a crackdown on beliefs
A                            Bm   D
   Oh it's a crackdown on beliefs
A                            Bm    D
   And it's a crackdown on beliefs

Outtro:

Bm D A   x6
Oh oh oh

Bm D A                            Bm             D
       And this is a crackdown on beliefs (na na na na)
A                               Bm            D
  Will you have a crackdown on beliefs (na na na na)
A                       Bm
  This a crackdown on beliefs
             D
  This is a crackdown
A
  This is a crackdown
Bm             D
   This is a crackdown
A
  This is a crackdown
