[Chorus]
A A/C#
Tell me what can I do on this day
D E
That may somehow effect the way
A
Things have all gone so wrong
A/C# D E
Yet they knew all along, never changing they're wrong everyday
A A/C#
Tell me why weren't most people told
D E
The working man left in the cold
A A/C#
While government scientists funded some other tests
D E
While the planet was still bought and sold
[Verse 1]
F E
Now it seems that they've all gone too far
F E
You can't fix destruction this deep in a jar
F E
As trouble progresses the leader confesses
F E
To laymen at their local bar
F E
On the news it will finally come
F E
The Announcement will leave most men dumb
F E F
Still it may draw a tear as some weep in their beer
E
And others will spit in their rum
[Chorus]
A A/C#
Tell me what can I do on this day
D E
That may somehow effect the way
A
Things have all gone so wrong
A/C# D E
Yet they knew all along, never changing they're wrong everyday
A A/C#
Tell me why weren't most people told
D E
The working man left in the cold
A A/C#
While government scientists funded some other tests
D E F E
While the planet was still bought and sold
F E
Like a whore
F E
They wanted more, more and more
F E
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental]
| F | E | F | E |
| F | E | F | E |
[Verse 2]
F E
What's my excuse when I know that I am
F E
Twice as damned as each one of them
F E
Vaguely informed and yet still wasting time
F E
My final crime
[Interlude]

Tell me what can I do on this day

While the planet was still bought and sold
