[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][Am][A]

[Verse 1]
Well we're [D]heading for a
pas[G]t that you l[Em]eave not defend
[Am]Where the [D]downtowns hold the s[G]adness
of you can[Em]'t go back again
[A]

[Verse 2]
[Am][A]
It's [D]there you'll find the
[G]rust and debtors
[Em]Motel signs with [A]miss[Am]ing letters
Cause there's a [D]monster
on the out[G]skirts
Says it [Em]knows what your [A]town [Am]needs
[A]The[Am]n it [A]eats it up[D] like nothing[G]
and it [Em]won't spit out [A]the seeds
[Am]And we can be th[Dm]e super shoppers[G]
We can [Em]say we're really [A]smart
[Am]We can say o[Dm]ur town is doing[G] fine
[Em]without a [A]beating [Am]heart

[Verse 3]
We can [Am]even say the money
saved is [D]all our own
It's bought and sold,
[G]it's bought and sol[Am]d[A][Am]
And we're [D]heading [Dm]for a [G]nasty business,
[Em]keeps our country grow[Am]ing
Where the [D]weapons [Dm]that we're [G]selling
are the [Em]only seeds [Am]we're sowing

[Verse 4]
You get to [Dm]blow the fruits
of [G]all your labors
Sell [Em]F-16's to [Am]all the neighbors
And we [Dm]know that it's for [G]money
And that's [Em]how the west get
[Am]s bargained
You the know [Dm]the last time this [G]happened
Even [Em]Vi etnam go[Am]t
[A]jar[Am]goned
And you [Dm]can say they're out to hunt [G]you
You can [Em]say they're
out to [A]fish [Am]you
You [Dm]can join a gang of r[G]estless boys
Or [Em]start your own [Am]militia
You can even say your violence
is [D]all your own
It's bought [G]and sold, it's bought [A]and sold[Am][Dm]
[D][Dm][D][Dm]
[D][Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm]
[G][F][A]
[D][C][A][Am]
[A]Well I loo[Dm]k up to the peo[G]ple
who are [Em]less bought than I
[Am]

[Verse 5]
You can [D]show them [Dm]what
you're [D]selling[G]
And they'll [Em]only ask [A]you why
[Am]And thei[A]r payc[D]heck[Dm]s don't
have [G]lots of zeros
[Em]They're my friends and
[Am]they're my heroes
And the [Dm]TV sets are an[G]gry 'cause they
[Em]just can't make 'em [Am]pay
But I [D]like [Dm]the way these p[G]eople read
the [Em]signs and walk away
[Am]

[Verse 6]
And we [Dm]can call ourselves the [G]makers
And the [Em]keepers of [Am]the times
We can [Dm]spend our sand [G]dollars
And sand [Em]nickels and [Am]sand dimes
We can even say prosperity is [D]all our own
It's bought and sold,
[G]it's bought and sol[A]d[Am]
We can even say our
loneliness is [D]all our own
It's bought and sold,
[G]it's bought and sol[A]d
It's bought and sold,
[D]it'[Dm]s bou[D]gh[G]t an[A]d sold

[Outro 1]
