Verse 1:
G B C D
The blonde lead the blind, but now I begin to see
G Bm C D G C G
All the things you missed when you were dismissed, because learning always ends at three.
G B C D
And time after time, you pass along liability.
G Bm C D
And all the things you say, they only give you away,
G C G
Cause you're on the same level that you were that day, say!
Horn Break: G Bm C D G C G
Verse 2:
G B C D
Oh! Friend! You look too deep at the cover of the magazine
G Bm C D G C G
But the words inside they come across deprived, and they force feed shit, but you still subscribe.
G B C D
And you watch, but you don't see, you touch, but you don't feel.
G Bm C D
And you'll rue the day they try to take it away,
G C G
But they know you'll never fight it if they keep it the same.
Horn Break: C D C D x2
Chorus
C G D G
Did you lose faith? Yes, I lost faith in the powers at be, but in doing so I came across the will to disagree.
C G D G
And I gave up, yes I gave up and then I gave in, but I take responsibility for every single sin.

Verse 3:
G B C D
Soon everyone will see, and everyone will know
G Bm C D G C G
That the things we Hid were irrelevant and it's all just part of the show.
G B C D
And the blemishes and scars that made us who we are:
G Bm C D G C G
We're told to cover up, but we've taken enough, and we're not going to stop until it's taken apart.
Horn Break: G Bm C D G C G
Verse 4:
G B C D
Come one, come all to observe the fall: Free tickets to the free for all!
G Bm C D G C G
And it never ends, it goes around again, and we're all bit players in the scheme of things.
G B C D G
And I hope someday you'll find all the answers to the questions on your mind.
Bm C D G C G
In time you will cross the line and you'll realize that everything you thought was right...
Horn Break: C D C D x2
