I've Emcome to Asus2smell the F#m7seasons Em/Bchange
And watch the Emcity as the Asus2sun goes F#m7down aEm/Bgain

Asus2This is the Asus2/Bland where Emnothing Cchanges
The Asus2land of red Asus2/Bbuses and Emblue blooded Cbabies
Asus2This is the Asus2/Bplace, where Empensioners are D5raped
And the Asus2hearts are being Asus2/Bcut from the Emwelfare Cstate
Let the Asus2poor drink the Asus2/Bmilk while the Emrich eat the D5honey
Let the Asus2bums count their Asus2/Bblessings while they Emcount the Cmoney

EmSo many Asus2people can't exF#m7press what's on their Em/Bminds

Until their Embacks are Asus2broken and their F#m7dreams are Em/Bstolen
And they Emcan't get what they Asus2want then they're F#m7gonna get Em/Bangry
Well it ain't Emwritten in the Asus2papers, but it's F#m7written on the Em/Bwalls
The Emway this Asus2country is diF#m7vided to Em/Bfall
So the Emcranes are Asus2moving on the F#m7skyEm/Bline
Trying to ... Emknock Asus2down ... F#m7this Baugtown
But the Emstains on the Asus2heartland, can F#m7never be reEm/Bmoved
From this Emcountry that's Asus2sick, F#m7sad, and conEm/Bfused

Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And all the frightened people running home before dark
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Past the Saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And the piss stinking shopping center in the new side of town
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
I've come to smell the seasons change
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And watch the city as the sun goes down again

This is the land where nothing changes
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
The land of red buses and blue blooded babies
Asus2 Asus2/B Em D5
This is the place, where pensioners are raped
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
And the hearts are being cut from the welfare state
Asus2 Asus2/B Em D5
Let the poor drink the milk while the rich eat the honey
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
Let the bums count their blessings while they count the money

Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
So many people can't express what's on their minds
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Nobody knows them and nobody ever will
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Until their backs are broken and their dreams are stolen
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And they can't get what they want then they're gonna get angry
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Well it ain't written in the papers, but it's written on the walls
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
The way this country is divided to fall
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
So the cranes are moving on the skyline
Em Asus2 F#m7 Baug
Trying to ... knock down ... this town
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
But the stains on the heartland, can never be removed
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
From this country that's sick, sad, and confused
