The Sand in the Gears

[Verse 1]

G F C
Can't I just spend the next four years at a punk show?

G F C
I wanna spend the next four years in the front row.

G D
Coz if the world outside is going to shit,

F C
Then you will find me in the centre of the circle pit.

G F C
I wanna spend the next four years at a punk show.

[Verse 2]

G F C
Can't I just spend the next four years getting wasted?

G F C
Maybe if I drink enough whiskey shots I can face it.

G D
Coz if we're welcoming in World War III,

F C
I'm waving goodbye to my sobriety.

G F C
I'm gonna spend the next four years getting wasted.

[Chorus 1]

Am7 D G G7
What do we do, if they don't represent us?

Am7 D
What do we do, do, do, do?

Em
I thought that we were winning the war against the homophobes and the racists.

G D
You can't be serious, man; we can't be this fucked.

F C
Well I'm sorry, friends, I guess it's time to suck it up.

G F C
Don't go giving up now, here's what we do.

[Verse 3]

G F C
We can't just spend the next four years in a safe space.

G F C
I'm gonna spend the next four years getting outraged.

G D
So every single day let's find a brand new way

F C
To let the mothefuckers know that we can't be swept away.

G F C
I'm gonna spend the next four years on the barricades.

[Chorus 2]

Am7 D G G7
A change is gonna come, and there's nothing to be done.

Am7 D
A change is gonna come, come, come, come.

Em
The only thing to choose is to decide which way you're gonna jump.

G D
Dont't give in to the hatred. Don't give into the fear.

F C
Pour yourself a shot of anger to go with your beer.
