Race To The Bottom

Dm Dm And so the artist screams, into an empty cup C Gm He says that you're a soulless bunch, but you could still wake up Dm And the capitalist, says he's born to be free C Gm He says, "You're poor, my friends, but you don't have to be" Dm Here's what we know F Bb We don't know what we got or if we got it Gm Dm And what we had, we already forgot it F Bb The race is evidently to the bottom Gm Dm We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say Bb Gm I don't know what to say Dm And so the thumpers preach, both love and hate C Gm They say, "you're naughty filth, but you could still be saved" Dm And the people wait, for the bell to ring C Gm They say, "we need a song, we need a song to sing" Dm Here's what we know F Bb We don't know what we got or if we got it Gm Dm And what we had, we already forgot it F Bb The race is evidently to the bottom Gm We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say F Don't know what it was but we want it back Bb Like every generation will repeat the last F Put a halo on a figurehead or photograph Bb Resist a little bit and then become the man C Dreaming of a simpler time, it occurs to me Dm That the past is hypothetical fantasy Gm And nostalgia just ain't what it used to be Dm F Bb Gm Dm Here's what we know F Bb We don't know what we got or if we got it Gm Dm And what we had, we already forgot it F Bb The race is evidently to the bottom Gm We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say F Bb We don't know what we got or if we got it Gm Dm And what we had, we already forgot it F Bb The race is evidently to the bottom Gm F Bb We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say F Bb Don't know what to say Dm I don't know what to say
