B5        E5           B5           E5
The rich get richer, the poor get the picture
    B5          E5                     G#5
The bombs never hit you when you're down so low


   B5        E5        B5      E5
Some got pollution, some revolution
      B5             E5              C#5             A5
There must be some solution but I just don't know


    B5            E5              B5           E5
The bosses want decisions, the workers need ambitions
       B5          E5                     G#5
There won't be no collisions when they move so slow


B5           E5         B5             E5
Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
B5            E5               C#5                   A5
No one ever tells me what am I to know, so what am I to know


            A5
   You wouldn't read about it, read about it
   D5
   Just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it


B5         E5            B5           E5
Hammer and sickle, the news is at a trickle
    B5          E5                 G#5
The commissars are fickle but the stockpile grows


B5           E5         B5           E5
Bombers keep coming, engines softly humming
     B5                 E5                    C#5           A5
The stars and stripes are running for their own big show


B5             E5           B5              E5
Another little flare up, storm brewed in a teacup
B5          E5              G#5
Imagine any mix-up and the lot would go


           G#5
Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
B5          E5                 C#5                   A5
No one ever tells me what am I to know, so what am I to know


               A5
  You wouldn't read about it, read about it
   D5
  One unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it
                  D5
  You wouldn't read about it, read about it
   D5
  Just another particular deal, ain't no doubt about it

Some got pollution, some de-evolution

There must be some solution but I just don't know
