[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][Em][D]
The [G]kingdom is ransacked
The jewels [Bm]all taken back
And the chop[Em]per desc[D]ends
They're hidden in the [G]back
With a message written
[Bm]on a half-baked potato
The [Em]spool goes [D]'round
Sayin' I'm [G]back here in this place
And I could [Bm]cry
And there's smoke you could [Em]click [D]on[G]
[C]What are we gonna [D]do [G]now?

[Verse 1]
[G]Taking off his [C]turban,
they said, [F]"is this man a [G]jew?"
'Cause they're working for the [C]clamp[G]down
They put up a [C]poster saying:
[F]"We earn more than [G]you
We're working for the [C]clamp[G]down"
We will [C]teach our twisted [F]speech
To the young be[C]liev[G]ers
We will [C]train our blue-eyed [F]men
To be young be[C]liev[G]ers

[Verse 2]
The [G]judge said, five to [C]ten,
but I say [F]double that a[G]gain
I'm not working for the [C]clamp[G]down
No man [C]born with a [F]living [G]soul
Can be working for the [C]clamp[G]down
Kick [C]over the wall [F]'cause government's to fall
How can you re[C]fuse [G]it?
Let [C]fury have the hour, [F]anger can be power
Do you know that you can [C]use [G]it?
[D]The

[Bridge 1]
voices in your head are calling
Stop [G]wasting your time,
there's nothing coming
[D]Only a fool would think
someone could [G]save you
The [D]men at the factory are old and cunning
You [G]don't owe nothing, boy, get runnin'
It's the [D]best years of your life
they want to [G]steal

[Verse 3]
But [G]you grow [C]up and [F]you calm [G]down
And you're working for the [C]clamp[G]down
You start [C]wearing [F]blue and [G]brown
And you're working for the [C]clamp[G]down
So you [C]got someone to [F]boss around
It makes you feel [C]big [G]now
You [C]drift until you [F]brutalize
Make your first [C]kill [G]now

[Verse 4]
[G]In these [C]days of [F]evil presi[G]dentes
Working for the [C]clamp[G]down
But lately one or [C]two has [F]fully paid their [G]due
For working for the [C]clamp[G]down
Ha! Get along! Get along!
[F](Working for the [C]clamp[G]down)
Ha! Get along! Get along!
[F](Working for the [C]clamp[G]down)
Yeah, I'm [Em]working
