Intro: D# C A#
D# C A#
How you wanna live?
D C A#
Can you conceive of a living wage?
G# C A# G# C A#
Or does it all just sound like something somebody else would say?
D# C A#
Even when they talk so calmly
D# C A#
They say ’There’s only a couple of questions we’ve got to ask.
G# C A#
You know the pavement is always hungry
G#
For those drops of your blood
C A#
For that knee in your back, oh
A# G#
Life is so incredibly long
A#
Like a kiss on a bridge between two nervous-ass kids
C G#
Terrified of doing everything wrong
A# C G#
Fickle, belligerent, fully existent
D# C A# D# C A#
And I don’t wanna talk to all the people in their pickup trucks
G# C A#
Moving all their mouths
G# C A#
To make it hurt so much
D# C A# D# C A#
You won’t get my blood in some apologetic stop-gap gush
G# C A# G# C A#
You’ll feel it all at once in a red, raw rush
A#
Overworked doctor is smoking in the doorway of the clinic
C G#
While protesters picket different perspectives of the same prison
A#
The peace signs in pictures chucked up by the diminished
C G#
Mean ’Nobody’s safe from the lawâ?
D# C A#
Cause they don’t give a fuck
D# C A# D#
They don’t give a fuck about us
