[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Life long, the storm has rained and [F]clapped
thunder in the face of the need to [G]smile.[Em][G]
Good times usually follow sunshine and the opportunity
to vacation from [F]the occupational
[G]premise.
Here in this crazy [F]world, seems [G]like
America lives to work an[Gm]d
[G]Europeans [F]work to live.
[G]The rest of the wor[Em]ld just works for[G] them.
[F]Democracy has[G] failed itself once again
by showing off the [F]potential to power trip on
the [G]less fortunate, stateside or otherwise.
[F]Giv[Gm]en bi[G]rth to fear, hatred,[F]
and bigotry weighed
on global scales [G]for [Em]the l[G]ust and equity
an[F]d the need to claim record
[G]sales of bumper crap
and the con[F]trol of [G]the uncontrollable.
[F]Life.
In [Gm]my country, tis of th[G]ee,
we have [F]invaded, pillaged,
[G]and plundered our own for so
long that we know
no other way but to be self -serving [F]an d afraid [Gm]of
all that we do [G]not understand, [F]it's [G]a crazy
[F]place, [G]plan[Gm] et e[G]arth,
[F]we [G]kno[F]w nothing besides the supposed [Gm]quest for the best a[G]t all co[F]sts,
Love,
Integrity,
[G]Spirit,
[F]Family,
[Gm]Afterlife
[G]Don't seem to mean shit [F]when
you copulate the
American way into thing[Em]s
[G]Fuck it if it don't make money and
get all you can for free
And then complain at the idea
of working for the [F]rest
Land of the thief,
[G]home of the sla[F]ve[Gm]
As of [G]today I've come up with
a few [F]candidates for
Poten[G]tial asshole of the world,
all wiped clean by financial sunshine and a shady canopy
of [F]military leaves for the days when
the heat [G]is just too much.
[F]Shit, free or not, some[G]times I [Gm]hate this [G]fucking place,
[F]cause I know how it cheats at cards
an[Em]d lies [G]to serve its own purpose,
[F]and[G] though I a[Gm]ppreciate my rights gra[G]nted, those that
have [F]been taken from me are the [G]ones
that I [F]seem [G]to yearn for most.
Legitimacy and my freedom shrinking
in a police state [F]called
Babylon, [G]also known [Em]as
[G]Planet
[F]Earth.
A place [Gm]where the leaders are [F]the
dent in a brand new vehicle.
[G]And your home ain't necessarily yours,
no matter how much you pay for [F]it.[G][F][Gm][F][G][Em][G]
[F][Gm][G][F][G]
[F][Gm][F][G]
[Gm][G][F]
[G]I'm[F][Gm][F]
[G][F][Gm][F]
[Em][Dm][F][Gm]
[F][G][F]
[F]I'm
You
