Emaj7 C#m G#m F# Emaj7 C#m I've seen enough of it G#m The sides are all cemented F# Their incentives look the same Emaj7 C#m Are they vetted in the same ways? G#m As the little guy puts blood and tears F# Emaj7 Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps C#m G#m Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman F# Emaj7 Hare checklist, tickin' every box F# Dead for what? Emaj7 C#m Standing on the side, I never was the silent type G#m F# All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Emaj7 C#m I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m Some get along with it G#m They drag around from town to town F# With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many Emaj7 C#m of my loved ones G#m And I owe it to my folks F# for giving me an understanding Emaj7 C#m of a world that shot my people down G#m The hungry and divided play F# Emaj7 into the hands of the man who put them there F# So it goes Emaj7 C#m Standing on the side, I never was the silent type G#m F# All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Emaj7 C#m I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m Standing on the side, I never was the silent type G#m F# All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Emaj7 C#m I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m G#m F# We're still a long way off Emaj7 C#m G#m F# We're still a long way off
