[Verse 1]
        C
I'm not leaving tonight
         F
Cram the armour and chains where the sun will not shine
     C                                                 F
And who's to say they won't bitch out and shoot me on sight?
          C
Get that thing out my face
         F
I don't care what it says, this is my goddamned place
   C                                                  F
A traitor to country and glad, 'cause my country's disgraced

[Verse 2]
        C
I'm not bleeding tonight
        F
In the shadow of truncheons with smoke in my eyes
          C                                       F
You will close in on madness and madness is not civilised
            C
There's no reason now
         F
I'm not dumb and you people can't dick me around
         C                                                F
And the whole institution is rigged and the ship's going down

[Chorus]
F 
 I'm cool to let Atlas drown
C             Dm
Galt, you can shake
        C             F
You can cry, you can quake
        C            Dm
You can rot in your sleep
        Em             F
You can shrug, you can weep
                       F
And I'll watch as you bleed

[Verse 3]
         C                            F
Hey, you jackbooted sheep with your elephant caps
        C                            F
I have come for my shit and I won't take less than that
       C
Why believe you are full
                                        F
When you still get your meals from the trash?
       C
To you bells in the curve
        F
I will love you, but love not the powers you serve
    C                                               F
Do not grow complacent and take less than what you deserve

[Chorus]
F  
I'm cool to watch Atlas burn
C              Dm
Galt, you can shake
        C              F
You can cry, you can quake
        C             Dm
You can rot in your sleep
         Em             F
You can shrug, you can weep
                      F
And I'll watch Atlas bleed
                        Am
And we'll laugh as he shakes
                       C
And we'll go off and breed
                      F
And we'll spit on his grave

[Verse 4]
        C
In the heart of redemption, there's some furious song
         F
And the herd is no place for the brave and the strong
       C                                            F
But I bear no contempt for the ones who just want to belong
            C                Dm
And these chosen whites are anaemic and small
        C                  Dm
And are truly the lowliest sheep of them all
          C                     Dm                          F
And their eminence is fixed upon things we could burn in one go

[Outro]
                F F F F Am Am F F F F
I'mma let Atlas fall
                 Am Am G F F C 
I'mma watch Atlas fall
