Intro: Am
[Verso 1]
Am
It is hard to get a grip
F
when you're holding in your hands
C
all these promises of paradise
G
and conquered foreign lands
Am
I was thinking of your family,
F
about the way you live
C
and wondering are you doing better
G
are you glad with how it is
Am
have the dollars trickled down
F
are the homeless in your town
C G
working harder 'cause you told them that they should
Am
is it bringing joy to you
F
to know that others suffer too
C G
are you sleeping better like you thought you would

[Verso 2]
Am
With your Hammers and your shovels
F
it's a fool's gold you chase
C
as if chaos and destruction
G
were the things that made us great
Am
it is said a house united
F
is a house that never falls
C
now we hang our flag inverted
G
from the highest mountain walls
Am
watch the markets coming down
F
as the Royals brandish crowns
C G
calling facts and their opinions all the same
Am
now your uncle's out of work
F
now he drinks the stuff that burns
C G
and he promises that everything's okay
[Refrão]

[Verso 3]
Am
Somewhere on the great horizon
F
as the sun begins to set
C
there are farmers who are famished,
G
there are children you forget
Am
there are winners, there are losers,
F
there is nowhere in between
C
yeah, the middle disappeared
G
amongst the sound of these machines
Am
and the champions are few
F
and the rest are me and you
C G
and we treat it all a game of zero sum
Am
there are evil entries
F
there are forces that will be
C G
whose will is it that you pray shall be done
[Refrão]
