[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Equality[Dm][D][Dm]
[D]Rhythm [G]economics [D]and politics alone can
cause the rigid laws [Eb]to da[D]nce[Dm]
[D]And even cause money to
spend it[Em]self out [D]in tomb
So equality remains the demand
Washed clean with soapy lies
and leftover bath [Em]water
Drained [D]from the homes of politicians
Oh, and don't forget [Dm]the wealthy[D]
You know, as kids,
my friends and I would often converse
So, kind of events [Em]between six of old and the six [D]hundred
are after a series of linoleum backspin[Em]s.[D]
And equal, [Em]in th[D]e sense that we
[Dm]know each other better[D].
But today as adults we're forced to defend ourselves against
the sword[Em]s of the sensei who[D] has been teaching us.
And guns that shoot shells of alcohol
and [Em]materi[D]alis[Em]m.[D][Dm]
[D]Equal[Dm][D]
[Em][D][Em][D][G]
[Em][D][G][D][Em][D]
[G][D]
These rhythm economics and polit[D]ics
The demons that climb the
walls that separate
[D]A fantasy from the [D]tent[D][Dm]
[D]The wedge between tru[A]e equ[Em]ality
[D]and the way [Em]things [D]really are
Realism
[Dm]Stinging l[D]ike hairs pull[Em]ed
from [D]one's armor
The return of a boomerang demanding
full payment from past [Dm]sins[D]
The carcass of equality smells [Em]of forgotte[D]n trash
out[Em]side the [D]back door of love's [Em]house
Penet[D]rating the [Em]walls[D]
Forcing [Em]the need for hesitation
When the newscast demands [D]that
Say brother, it's time for you to pick
up your things and [Em]go[D][Em]
Equality
[D][Em][D][Em][D]
[Em][D][G][D][G][Dm][D]
[G][Cm][D][G][D][G][C][D][Fm][D][G][Dm][Gm][Dm]
[G][Cm][D][G][D][Gm]
[Dm]Retr[G]eat [Em]and surrender your weapons[D] at the same time, c[Dm]ause you ai[D]n't gonna be fighting
for a while.
This ain't about you, this is all about [Em]rhythm,
[Dm]economics, [D]politics.
I know what you think equality is.
The government is sure to show you,
[Dm]Equalism.
[D][Dm][D][Dm][D]
[Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm][D]
[Dm][D][Em]
[D]How[Em] does[D] t[Dm]hat f[D]eel[Dm]?[D]
The [A]future [D]of the notion
smells truly foul,
Truly foul and far from poet[Em]ic.[D][A][D][Em][D][G][D][G]
[Dm][D][Eb][D][G][D][G][D]
[Dm][D][G][D][Dm][Bb][D][Dm]
[D]My equality lives as [D]a prophetic table [D]-tipper,
sit[D]ting at the gates of the garden, dancing
Entranced by loss of definition an[D]d faded
pictures of what once [D]was.[D]
Rhythm economics and [G]politics [D]alone
can cause rigid laws to [D]dance.[D]
Even cause money to spend
itself out of tun[Em]e.[D]
Equality itself remains the new math.
[Em]Quality.[D][Em][D]
[G][D][D][C#dim][D]
[Em][C#dim]
[D][Em][D][D][D][Em][C#dim]
[D][G][Em]
I'm going [D]to to do [Em]it.[D]
Equality.
