Tonart: G minor
Verse 1
Em
The hero in the big white house
Shakes his head and moans about
D
The misery of his fellow man
Just as though he really cared
C
While the hand he holds
behind his back
Conceals the truth from those
The camera rolls another reel
While the robots on the hill
D
Are dashing madly to and fro
Smiling at the status quo
smoke- filled rooms
They sell the very air that you
Em
are breathing
D
Em
When it's payback time
And you take that final ride
D
Em
When there is no place to run to
Am
And there ain't no place to hide
The supreme court of the universe
G

Where justice is not blind
D
And no prisoners will be taken
G
D
Em
When it's paybacktime
Another day, another knife
Another precious unborn life
D
Will never see the light of day
Will never run or jump or play
C
It's just another sacrifice
To that greenback god of choice
Their blood cries out to be avenged
And someday you will cower
and cringe
D
Where the books don't lie
and the judge don't deal
No high- priced lawyers to appeal
C
Where the verdict is eternal
And you can't escape the verdict
G
D
Em
When it's pay back time and

heaven rules supreme
G

When your gold and silver's
Am
And you stand before the King
When your nightmares are reality

And it's too late for repentance

Em
The sun comes up
the pendulum swings
And each new frightening
morning brings
D
The children's cries, the cannon roar
More loudly than the day before
C
The wax of time is drippin' down
From both ends of that candle
A mighty shout, a trumpet blast
When the last is first and the first is last
D
The world is hushed and time
stands still
And the final chapter is fulfilled
C
The sky will part each knee will bow
To greet the awesome hour of
G

When it's payback time
B

And the sheep are gathered in

When the roll is called
When the wedding supper's ready

And the faithful called to dine
D
Who'll be sitting at the table

When it's payback time
