Capo on 4th.

Am                    E               F
I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
Am                    E               F
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
Am
but opportunity
E
no it don't exist
F
it's the opiate
C
of the populace
Am
we need some harder shit now
E
the truth's getting around
F
and each public school is a halfway house
E
where the huddled masses sober up and up
C                           F
enough? There's not enough
     E                   Am         G
to fatten the cows and feed all of us.
       F       G
It's just a rationing of luck
E
what can't be bought gets raffled off.
C                      F
oh god good god shed greed on thee,
           E                 Am  G
your shining sea turned a dirty green
F
from the industry
G
off the shores of New Jersey

(Chords same as above)

I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist

I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something

too bad that nowadays you just point and click

swing low satellite, hot white chariot

in the computer's blue glare

the bombs burst in the air

there was a city once now nothing's there

our freedom comes at their expense

it makes sense does it?

Dollars and cents

they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence

that's surrounding your housing development

in case you lack the confidence

oh god my god give strength to thee

these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but

backdrops for Disney


         C          Dm
look up close it's superimposed
Am    
on a blank blue screen yea its fantasy
G
fucking magical
            C           Dm
the dream floats like a chemical
Am
through each snapped synapse
                            G
our television past that is beautiful
C
no more
Dm
no more
Am - G - Am - F - E - C
