Temptation Time

Lyrics and Chords

RIFF Throughout  A-F#GF#EDCAGAx 3, A-F#G, G-F#

Temptation time
Temptation time
Temptation time
Temptation time
You howl like a rebel and you hang like a judge
Touch your lips with your fingertips
But you’re not vain as such
You paint your promise
Sick shades of gold
But you can’t conceal what you steal,
Can’t sell what you’ve already sold

A

You’re burning inside; people want to know why..

A

Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,

A

Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..

B

Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein

B                                                             Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

There’s no room for hesitation..

When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..
You reach for the rose in a cloak of thorns
Cut yourself, bleed for everyone, the past must be reborn
Call an inch a mile; politician style
No chicken feed, sow the demon seed
Get satisfaction guaranteed

A

You’re burning inside; people want to know why..

A

Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,

A

Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..

B

Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein

B                                                             Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

There’s no point in meditation..

When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..
Temptation time
Temptation time
Temptation time
Temptation time

You’re drunk on the limelight, you’re walking on air
You’d love to change but you know right now
That you don’t even care

A

You’re burning inside; people want to know why..

A

Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,

A

Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..

B

Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein

B                                                             Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

There’s no room for hesitation..

When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..

You paint your promise
Sick shades of gold
But you can’t conceal what you steal,
Can’t sell what you’ve already sold
You’re burning inside; people want to know why..
Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,
Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..
Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein ,
There’s no room for hesitation..
When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..
You reach for the rose in a cloak of thorns
Cut yourself, bleed for everyone, the past must be reborn
Call an inch a mile; politician style
No chicken feed, sow the demon seed ?Get satisfaction guaranteed
You’re burning inside; people want to know why..
Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,?Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..
Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein,
There’s no point in meditation..
When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..

Temptation time

You’re drunk on the limelight, you’re walking on air
You’d love to change but you know right now
That you don’t even care
You’re burning inside; people want to know why
Citizens! If you can’t make it, just fake it,
Life’s a sham! Don’t give a damn..
Raise your aim, go for the jugular vein ,
There’s no room for hesitation..
When all you want..
..All you want is a reputation..
