The Rant Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[Csus2] work for[G] th[D]e p[G]eop[Csus2]le,[G][D][G][Csus2]
not the [G]other way [D]round
Get [G]down off your [Csus2]high horse,
put your [G]feet on the ground
[D]And wal[Em]k a few miles in the[Asus4] shoes
of those you're meant to [D]serve
Stop [G]paying the pa[Csus2]pers
to [G]di vert our [D]eyes
From the [G]truth which is
[Csus2]buried in we[G]ll -written lies
[D]As you[Em] line your pockets for your
[Asus4]lifelong retirement [D]plan
While our [Em]pensioners live on what
[Asus4]comes from a can
Worked a [Em]lifetime but now they're
not [Asus4]part of your plan
As [Bm]you spend our money increas
[Am]ing our national d[D]ebt
You [G]perpetuate [Csus2]hate and manipulat[G]e lies
[D]Blacks, [G]whites, and gay[Csus2]s,
or [G]re ligious ties
[D]Building[Em] fear to control[Asus4]
and create dis[D]content
And stop [G]spending [Csus2]money
we [G]don't really own
[D]On pro[G]blems abr[Csus2]oad,
when [G]right [D]here [Asus4]at home[D]
Our [Em]needy, our poor,
and our [Asus4]homeless are crying for [D]aid
And you'll [G]vilify farmers
and [Csus2]generate fear
That they [G]slaughter the land when
the [Csus2]truth is they nurture
[C]The [Em]country to provide every [Asus4]crum
b that goes into your [D]mouth
And you'll [Em]sell off our assets
to [Asus4]get a quick buck
From [Em]overseas agents,
but you [Asus4]don't give a fuck about building[Bm] a country
Upon [Am]which our kids can de
[D]pend[Asus4][D]
There'll [G]be nothing [Csus2]left
once you've [G]all had your way
[D]Used up [G]precious oxygen[Csus2],
[G]having [Gsus2]your say[D]
While the [Em]people, they mourn
As a [Asus4]beautiful country im[D]plodes
My [G]fear is that [Csus2]sadly we've lef[G]t it too late
[D]They force [G]us to [Csus2]vote
and they taught us [G]to
hate
[D]And there's [Em]no one to trust
in a [Asus4]system that's
powered by [D]greed
This [Em]song is a rant, it may [Asus4]cause you to
muse
On the [Em]fact that we all
have [Asus4]the power to
choose
Our [Bm]thoughts and our actions are the [Am]only
The tools we have to [D]wield
[Asus4][D][Asus4][D]
It's [G]up to the [Csus2]people
We [G]all [Csus2]have a ch[G]oice
[D]To sit on [G]our hands[Csus2]
Or to raise up our [D]voice
And demand [Em]something better
The [Asus4]truth from those who we gave pow[D]er
I be[G]lieve that this country
is a beau[Csus2]tiful place
Of [G]love, opportunity, [Csus2]plenty of sp[C]ace
For [Em]all of us, if we're [Asus4]united,
a people as [D]one
Treat [Em]our land and our people
with [Asus4]love and respect
We're
[Em]Parkhaven brothers, and [Asus4]never forget
We're the [G]luckiest [C]people on [D]earth
To call this place home
you
