[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
BmIt's new world now don't discriminate
BmEveryone is equally a master and a slave
BmIt's new world now don't discriminate
BmEveryone is equally a master and a slave
[Chorus]
     D   A|     E   A| Bm  
                     How did this happen?
     D   A|     E   A| Bm  
                     How did this happen? (How did this happen?)
[Verse 2]
BmI see you walk past the demonstration
DTwo chips Aon your Bmshoulder
BmYou're a culture connoisseur and your pain is real
DTwo chips Aon your Bmshoulder
BmStuck wading through a crowd of radical daughters
BmBarricades armed by empty strollers
BmBasic slogans to combat controllers
BmSee them dance from afar, to guitar on your shoulder
[Pre-Chorus]
DAs you smugly Awalk past, Bmthink:
BmThese people should be here regardless of outcome
DAs you smugly Awalk past, Bmthink:
BmHey there's a half-off sale at the Barnes and Noble
[Chorus]
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
[Verse 3]
BmYou're cueing deep cuts as you glide escalator
DTwo chips Aon your Bmshoulder
BmFace pressed to glass looking down at the mass march
DTwo cans oAn your Bmshoulder
BmYour playlist knows you better than a closest lover
BmYour playlist always desert island disk
BmYour playlist will curate you songs of the oppressed
BmLook at the marquee in 1080p
[Pre-Chorus]
DAs you smugly Awalk past, Bmthink:
BmThese people should be here regardless of outcome
DAs you smugly Awalk past, Bmthink:
BmYou've got an island of blue, you've got a nipple in water
[Chorus]
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
[Verse 4]
BmIt's new world now don't discriminate
BmEveryone is equally a master and a slave
BmIt's new world now don't discriminate
BmEveryone is equally a master and a slave
[Chorus]
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
[Verse 5]
BmThis machine you know it don't kill fascists
BmThis machine just softens what's hard
BmThis machine it killed the dream of the sixties
BmThis machine you know it's just a guitar
[Outro]
As you Dsmugly walk Apast, you aEsk yourself
AHow did this Bmhappen?
