[Intro]
D C Em G A A#m D
[Verse 1]
D C
What makes a girl start a fire in the hall
Em G G7
Leave a lipstick scrawl on the bathroom mirror?
D C
She won't settle for a pile of scrap metal
Em G D
While you work the gas pedal at another man's steer
D C
She takes her time as authorities arrive
Em G A#m F D
Going out for a smoke in the empty back lot
D C
She sees the world she imagined as a girl
G D
Was a lottery ticket for a phony jackpot
[Chorus]
E G D
Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma
E G A
Years roll on and we still have not looked at our sin
[Instrumental]
D C Em G A A#m D
[Verse 2]
D C
What makes a man take a hammer in his hand
Em G A#m D
Shatter every last window of the company store
D C
At 3 AM with the furies back again?
Em G D
Now it's him against them in a personal war
D C
The mind snaps and economies collapse
Em G A#m
When the one who works hardest gets the smallest reward
D C
The big scam is nobody gives a damn
Em G D
That the penthouse suite depends on the bottom three floors
[Bridge]
Bm G D
And I know how hard you've been working
Bm G D
We all know somebody who's been killed
Bm G
We hold power, though it's only for the hour
D
Let the ivory tower know the power we wield
Bm G D
They know we got 'em and empire's in its autumn when it's built
From the bottom and the bottom won't build
[[Chorus]
E G D
Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma
E G A
Years roll on and we still have not looked at our sin
[Outro]
