[Verse]
AWake up to the Biddle Street blues
GCan't shake the news
All the way to the Dbig dome
They're trying
AThe intrigues of the new royalty
And the belGievers
In the afterlife
Share the Dsame gamblers pages
ACobblestone streets saw 3 sovereign Gflags
As they raised their Dglasses to conquest and nation
AStill pawns playing out the Alegacy
Of long dead industry tDitans and haters of men
[Chorus]
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire
[Verse]
APlastic grocery bags fly from Gtrees
Proud symbols of a cDavalier progress
AMemories and landscapes in Gtriage
Disappearing avDerages, permanent changes
ANo jury will have a final Gsay
Everyone knows the jDury is guilty
AFaced with no plan at Gall
Just to trick a smile Dout of the moment
[Chorus]
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire
Feeling Adown   Gto Dthe wire

Can't shake the news

All the way to the big dome

The intrigues of the new royalty

And the believers
