[Verse]
Am C
there's a car, driving by
F
it's the fear, the fear, the fear
Am
rolling in disguise
Am
look down
C
it's over there now
F
but it's here, it's here, it's here
Am
it's in the eyes
[Chorus]
Am
that dream is a lie
Dm E7
you wake up when you die
Am
wake up when you die
[Verse]
Dm G C E7 Am
these pigs should be in the backseat hogtied
Dm G C E7 Am
but all i see is them freely driving by
Dm G
why should we let you in
C E7 Am
before we pull the pin
Dm G
how can anyone even fall
Am
when they're pushed against the wall?
Am C
there's a point on the horizon line
F
where you can see someone else's dream
Am
it's no dream of mine
C
the fear in an american town
F
he'll drown, he'll drown, he'll drown
Am
before you flush him down
[Chorus]
Am
the dream is a lie
Dm E7
wake up when he dies
Am
wake up when he dies
[Verse]
Dm G C E7 Am
those pigs should be in the backseat hogtied
Dm G C E7 Am
but all i see is them freely driving by
Dm G
why should we let them in
C E7 Am
before we pull the pin?
Dm G
i'm not sure if i can ever understand
C
the fear in
Am Dm
america you're so unkind
G C
you break the body, chain the mind
F E7 Am
you'd fix it but you haven't got the time
Am C
there's a car, driving by
F
it's the fear, the fear, the fear
Am
rolling in disguise
Am
look down
C
it's over there now
F
but it's here, it's here, it's here
Am
it's in the eyes
[Chorus]
Am
that dream is a lie

wake up when you die
