[Intro]
D E F G x2
[Verse]
D E F G
Breathing poison through a swirly straw
D E
Let the children think they're safe
F G
Then trade their souls for the law
D E F G
And the law won't listen to anyone
D F G
But the man with money in his hands
D E F G
Light up the sky and then get mad when we burn
D E
Let the people think they're screaming
F G
When you can't hear a word
D E F G
And words don't mean shit if you're not pointing a gun
D F G
At the man with money in his hands
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 Csus D
So it all stays the same
Bbmaj7 Csus D
Crooked blood running through these veins
Bbmaj7 G D
Our bodies will rot and decay
Bbmaj7 Csus D E F G
While it all stays the same
[Interlude]
D E F G
[Verse]
D E F G
Make life easier, just give up control
D E
It's a chemical dependence
F G
It's a bruise on your soul
D E F G
And your soul can't be saved, if you don't give it away
D F G
To the man with money in his hands
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 Csus D
So it all stays the same
Bbmaj7 Csus D
Crooked blood running through these veins
Bbmaj7 G D
Our bodies will rot and decay
Bbmaj7 Csus D E F G
While it all stays the same
[Outro]
D E F G x3
