[Verse 1]
A E F#m E
If crooks are in charge, should we let them pick our pockets?
A E Bm E
If we don't want trouble, should we not try to stop it?
C#m Bm
We could just sink into the quicksand slavery we're born in
C#m F#m E
But fighting endless wars for greedy liars is getting pretty boring
A E F#m E
They think they got us trained, so we'll think we're living free
A E Bm E
If we got time and money for junk food and TV
C#m Bm
But it's plain honest people never stand a chance of winning elections
C#m D E
They just let us pick which liars take our rights away for our own protection
[Verse 2]
A F#m E
The corporate propaganda paralyzes us with fear
A E
Destroying our ability to trust
A F#m E
Fear keeps us fighting with each other over scraps
D E A
Starving to death in the dust
F#m A
Organized religion really helps you submit
F#m D E
But the meek are inheriting the short end of the stick
A D E
Think twice (think twice) we're awaking from the dream
A D A E
Think twice (think twice) we don't like what we see
[Fiddle break]
F#m A F#m A E
F#m A E
[Verse 3]
F#m
Fear surrounds compassion like a layer of mold
E
And weakens our defenses so we're too weak to be bold
D
Life could be heaven, but this corrupted system
E
Takes away our rights, expects us not to miss them
F#m
The middle class is shrinking while the lower class grows
D
If we don't wake up soon, we'll have no class left to lose
E
But at least we're getting by, and there's heaven when we die
D
It's hard for honest people to recognize a lie
[Break]
A E
It's an American dream, there's no pie in the sky
D Bm
We're running out of credit, we can't afford to buy it
A D E
If it weren't so sad, it'd be a goddamn riot
[Final Verse]
A D E
Think twice, the change that we need can be found
A D E
Think twice, just don't expect to get it handed down
A D E
Think twice, right now it's up to you and me
D E D A
Our hearts guide our minds to make greed obsolete
[Outro]
F#m D
Don't run in circles all your life just hoping
E A
To grab a horse on a dead carousel
A E F#m E
If crooks are in charge, should we let them pick our pockets?
A E Bm E
If we don't want trouble, should we not try to stop it?
