G/B

[Intro]

C Am F

C G/B Am F

[Verse]

C G/B Am F

Well, we do okay with the things god gave us

C G/B Am F

But will it be enough when it's time to save us

Am G/B C

One in three can't read

Am G/B C

So many mouths to feed

Am G/B C F

We just sit and wait like a loaded gun

[Verse]

C G/B Am F

And we cloak ourselves in the great tradition

C G/B Am F

The United States of acquisition

Am G/B C

Every man for himself

Am G/B C

Just me and no one else

Am G/B C F

Will we ever learn there's a price to pay

[Chorus]

C Dm F G

America the free, wake up from your fantasy

C Dm F G

Is the nation so divided we can't see, we can't see

C Dm Bb Am

That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone

Dm F G C G/B Am F

I know, I'll start with me

[Verse]

C G/B Am F

Six o' clock it's another story

C G/B Am F

A gunman down, in a blaze of glory

Am G/B C

Only ten years old

Am G/B C

Makes my blood run cold

Am G/B C F

And the press descends like birds of prey

[Verse]

C G/B Am F

And politicians stay in office

C G/B Am F

Far too long to vote their conscience

Am G/B C

Lobbied, bought and sold

Am G/B C

Trading votes for gold

Am G/B C F

They've forgotten that they work for us, yeah

[Chorus]

C Dm F G

America the free, wake up from your fantasy

C Dm F G

Is the nation so divided we can't see, we can't see

C Dm Bb Am

That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone

Dm F G C

I know, I'll start with me

[Bridge]

Dm F C

For the beast to stay alive, it has to feed

G F

That's why in times of peace, they create an enemy

And though we call the Big Red Scare

G Dm

It's just my neighbour over there

With hopes and dreams

F G C

The same as me, the same as me

[Instrumental]

C G/B Am F

[Chorus]

C Dm F G

America the free, wake up from your fantasy

C Dm F G

Is the nation so divided we can't see, we can't see

C Dm Bb Am

That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone

Dm F G C G/B Am F

I know, I'll start with me

C G/B Am F

I'll start with me

[Outro]

C G/B Am F

Well, we do okay with the things god gave us
