Well, the poor keep getting hungry, and the rich keep getting fat
  G          Bm                C                     G  (C)
Politicians change, but they're never gonna change that.
  G              Bm               C                  G  (C)
Girl, we got the answer, it's so easy you won't believe
  Am                 D
All we gotta do is.. [ mumbles incoherently ]

Well, the winds of war are blowin', and the tide is comin' in

Don't you be hopin' for the good times, because the good times have already been.
  G                      Bm             C                 G  (C)
But, girl, we got the answer, it's so easy you won't believe
  Am                 D
All we gotta do is.. [ mumbles incoherently ] 

  Em           Am
It's so easy, to see
  Em                             D
If only they'd listen, to you and me.
  D          G                   C                 D
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] as fast as we can
  D          G                   C                    D
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] every woman, every man
  D          G                   C              D
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] time after time
  D          G                   C              D
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] vodka and lime.

Well, the world is gettin' weary, and it wants to go to bed
  G           Bm               C                     G  (C)
Everybody's dyin', except the ones who are already dead.
  G                 Bm       C                     G  (C)        
Girl, we got the answer, starin' us right in the face
  Am
All we gotta do is
  Am
All we gotta do is
  Am
All we gotta do is.
