C#A bEead of sweat pouring slow down a palm line
C#I sEee a bumper sticker: a bearded man with a wanted sign
Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#  
A myth we've made to scare our fears away
Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#  
A slogan that we slap on all out misdirected hate
Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#  
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain
Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#  
But it's really just a desert corpse we painted on a wall out in some cave
C#AnyEwaC#y, EI don't know where he's gonna park that thing

So I don't see it like it's "us" and "them"
Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#

Ab/ C#   A/C#   B/C#  C#  
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we've wanted

Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever-dangling carrot
C#And EI'm tired of it
C#WelEl, who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?

A Cadillac drives down my street

A myth we've made to scare our fears away

Ab C# A/C# B/C# C#

A slogan that we slap on all out misdirected hate

Anyway, I don't know where he's gonna park that thing

C# E C# E

C# E

My neighborhood drunk's on line at the deli

C# E

With his shaky hands and his swollen face he waits for his coffee

C# E

He blacks out curbside every night, then every day crawls back towards Wall Street

Ab C# A/C# B/C# C#

So I don't see it like it's "us" and "them"

Ab C# A/C# B/C# C#

Droning on and on and on and never doing what we've wanted

Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever-dangling carrot

C# E

And I'm tired of it

C# E

Well, who's to say that we can't just fucking change it?
