[Verse 1]
Bm G
Someone in a dangerous place
Bm A
Someone got lost somewhere
Bm G Em7
Many people are locked outside
Bm A F#m7
Many people lost out there
Bm G
Many people, they can't get in
Bm A
Many people, they pay no mind
Bm G Em7
Many people, they leave this place
Bm A F#m7
And many people are freed of time
Well now
Bm G
This man, he could be king
Bm A
This woman, she's the royalty
Bm G Em7
This woman, she's brave and strong
Bm A F#m7
She's got no name, but she is family
[Chorus]
Bm G
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Bm A
Politics and a painted face
Bm G Em7
She says that freedom costs too much
Bm A F#m7
She says the mind is not a place
[Verse 2]
Bm G
This situation drags me down
Bm A
They form a country in my house
Bm G Em7
On the stage and in the street
Bm A F#m7
I will be a human being
Bm G
I will come down off the stage
Bm A
The marketplace and the shopping mall
Bm G Em7
Into the house, the rooms of war
Bm A F#m7
Look at me now and recall
Bm G
Vacuum-packed don't rock my world
Bm A
And the money back guarantee don't make my day
Bm G Em7
And no feeling of security
Bm A F#m7
They say the answer's one click away
[Chorus]
Bm G
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Bm A
Politics and a painted face
Bm G Em7
She says that freedom costs too much
Bm A F#m7
She says the mind is not a place
Bm G
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Bm A
Politics and a painted face
Bm G Em7
She says that freedom costs too much
Bm A Bm
She says the mind is not a place
