[Intro]
G#m E B F#
G#m E B F#
[Verse]
G#mI'm searching for the words.
I'm looking for a Bway to renew my faith in humanity.
EAre people born bad? Are people born Bgood, 
or passive, and F#controlled way to easily?
G#mSomething must have happened along the Bway 
to cause this selfishness and Ehate. 
This greed and need for things, 
everyBwhere I look it's F#take take take take. 
[Bridge]
EAnd you can close your eyes and 
Blive in this F#dream that you've mEade.
I promise you one night you'll Bwake up F#screaming 
Eto the realization Ball of F#this is fEake.
I promise you for some this Bnight will never F#end.
It will never end. 
G#m E B F#
[Verse]
G#mI'm trying to find a way
to understand Bhow people justify how much they Etake.
White collared crimes by well dressed Bthieves 
every day in the F#casino's on Wall Street. 
G#mTaking from the penniless, 
they Bdie of thirst while your cup overEfills.
This greed and need to control.
everyBwhere I look it's F#take take take take.
[Bridge]
EAnd you can close your eyes and 
Blive in this F#dream that you've mEade.
I promise you one night you'll Bwake up F#screaming 
Eto the realization Ball of F#this is fEake.
I promise you for some this Bnight will never F#end.
[Chorus]
Because there are Bmonsters among us.
There are sF#ome you can't see.
They're G#mdisguised in their suits, nice shoes, and ties,
and they take vF#engeance on ethics and honesty.
Can Bsomebody tell me who's left to tF#rust in this world?
A G#mgolden pass for the upper class. 
A place on the F#bus for the rest of us.
