Capo Second Fret

[Verse]

F C

John A. Hobson was a good man

G Am

He used to loan me books and mic stands

F C

He even got me a subscription

To the Socialist Review

F C

Listening to records in his basement

G Am

Old folk songs about the government

F C

It's love of money not the market

He said, "These fuckers push on you"

[Chorus]

F C

And freedom yells, it don't cry

F Am

Whatever sells will decide

F Am

But there's no hell when you die

So don't look so worried

[Verse]

F C

He got a nightlife, lost his day job

G Am

Pushing papers, swinging pendulums

F C

Anything to serve a function

Or to occupy some time

F C

You've got to earn this living somehow

G Am

You're good as dead without a bank account

F C

But it's funny how alive he felt

Down in that unemployment line

[Chorus]

F C

With all that trash at his feet

F Am

The pools of piss in the street

F Am

All of that filthy empathy

For the way we're feeling

[Bridge]

Em Am G

The billboard's shade, the flags, they wave

The anthem was playing loud

Am C F G

The baseball game was letting out

Em Am G

And all at once he saw the dust

And heard every tiny sound

Am C F G

Got in his truck and turned around

F C

Crowd and the cops

F C

Drove out past that center mall

F C

Drove out past that sickening sprawl

F C

Out past that fenced in gold

F C

And maybe he lost control

F C

Fucking with the radio

F Am G

But I bet the stars seemed so close at the end

F C

At the end

F C

At the end

F C

At the end

F C

At the end

End on F.
