The new pusherman
(DGDGBD) capo3
(Dm, Bb)
The old pusherman
was waiting in the shadows
But the new pusherman
is on CNN and late shows
the old pusherman
Feared the hand of government
But the new pusherman
Just treats ‘em as subordinates
(G...Bb/G, Dm, C, A)
(C, Bb, F, Eb/Dm)
Well I believe in healing
But i’m seeing double-dealing
And on the holy ceiling
There’s a light revealing
a pusherman
Who ain’t even human
(C, Bb…)
----
The old pusherman
fed you just to cash in
the new pusherman
preys on your compassion
Says listen mister
if you care for your sister
You’ll get in line sensibly
There’s no denying my recipe
Well I believe in healing
And I have seen the green of the promised land
Yet on the holy ceiling
There’s a light revealing
a fearless fortune
And an upward motion
Yet i’m floating on the ocean
Of unflinching devotion
To a pusherman...
Who has a hell of a hunger plan
The old pusherman
Gave what you were needing
The new pusherman
keeps diseases just to cure them
He says take caution
And then every so often
Walks down among the dying
To makes sure they’re multiplying
Well I believe in healing
And I believe in being a better man
Yet up on the holy ceiling
There’s a light revealing
a fearless fortune
And an upward motion
Yet i’m walking on an ocean
Of unflinching devotion
To a pusherman
